Patient Resources
The Mesothelioma Center offers a wide range of resources for patients and their families. Please browse through our Patient Resources section to discover how we can help answer questions concerning treatment options, doctor selection and anything else that may be on your mind.
Cancer patients have many forms of support available to them, but often don’t have the time or resources to find everything that’s available. The Mesothelioma Center aims to make this process simple and worry-free for patients by providing comprehensive resources through our website and our Patient Advocates who personally assist patients one-on-one.
Doctor Match Program
The Mesothelioma Center’s unique Doctor Match Program provides personalized assistance to pair patients with the best possible doctor and treatment facility for their specific diagnosis. We have visited hospitals across the country and have met with some of the leading mesothelioma specialists to provide this free service.
For more information about this program, visit our Doctor Match Program page. This informative page helps patients understand how the program works and visitors can also get in touch with Kaylen Jackson, our Medical Outreach Director.
Veterans Assistance
Are you a veteran with questions about asbestos exposure or asbestos-related illness? Our Veterans Assistance Department offers a number of resources and support services to veterans affected by asbestos exposure. From helping with the filing of VA Claims to answering veteran asbestos exposure questions, the Veterans Assistance Department can help any veteran facing mesothelioma understand the options and resources available to them.
To receive assistance from one of our Veterans Benefits Counselors, please visit our Veterans Assistance page.
Mesothelioma Nutrition
Many mesothelioma patients have benefitted from changing their diet and strengthening their immune system through nutrition. Our Nutrition Section discusses what patients can eat and which foods or herbs may help most during treatments like chemotherapy and radiation therapy. A number of mesothelioma survivors are known for integrating nutritional therapy into their treatment plan, from special fruit juices to vitamin therapy to herbal supplementation.
Emotional Support
Whether you’re a mesothelioma patient or a friend or family member of someone who has been diagnosed, establishing a strong support network is very important. Recognizing the emotions that can occur with a cancer diagnosis is important for reducing stress and optimizing response to treatment. Our Support Section is full of resources and discusses everything from handling stress to reaching out to local support groups.
Testimonials
Patients are the heart of the resources we offer. So are their families. We treasure the feedback we get from people we work with, and they often educate us about doctors, hospitals and treatments. And when they call and write to say thank you, that lets us know we've done our job.
