Mesothelioma Events

This exclusive monthly support group for mesothelioma patients and caregivers provides a safe space for participants to connect with others affected by this rare cancer, ask their questions and share their experiences.

Every year, the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization lights candles for all those who have lost their battles with this rare and aggressive cancer. A week later, on Jan 4, candles are lit for mesothelioma warrior survivors who continue their fight.

This event is held virtually every year in remembrance of those who have died of mesothelioma and in support of their families and friends. Sponsored by the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization.

February is National Cancer Prevention Month. Since mesothelioma is a preventable cancer, throughout the month of February we remind everyone that asbestos is not a problem of the past. The U.S. has not banned asbestos. In addition, we encourage anyone with a history of asbestos exposure to get routine mesothelioma screenings.

World Cancer Day is a global awareness day aiming to improve cancer education and drive personal and governmental action as we continue to fight for a world without cancer. Hundreds of events take place around the world to raise awareness about cancer prevention, early detection and access to treatment.

Once a month, more than a dozen mesothelioma survivors and caregivers meet online or by phone to share their experiences with this rare cancer. Moderated by a licensed mental health counselor, this group offers a safe place to ask questions and speak with others going through a similar experience.

Rare Disease Day is held on the last day of February each year. Its goal is to raise awareness of rare diseases and the impact they have on patients’ lives.
