Online Resources: Support for Mesothelioma Patients and Families

If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you likely have many questions regarding treatment options, as well as getting support from others in a similar circumstance.

Your medical team will work closely with you on an appropriate treatment plan, but you should also seek help from a network of others with mesothelioma.

Below is a listing of major support groups dedicated to those with mesothelioma:

Asbestos Awareness Disease Organization (ADAO). This organization, founded by asbestos victims and their families, gives mesothelioma patients and families a united voice so that their rights are fairly represented.

Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation (MARF). MARF is a national organization funded by mesothelioma patients and their families. The Web site also has a message board you can join and speak with other mesothelioma patients and families.

Mesothelioma Essentials. This site, also supported by those with mesothelioma and their families, is sponsored by The Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO). It offers information, links to other support sources, as well as links to additional reading and other materials.
