Amy Pelegrin, hospice care director at Asbestos.com, discusses some of the biggest challenges mesothelioma patients and caregivers face.

I think challenges for caregivers, you know, and mesothelioma patients when they're a good portion into their direct diagnosis already. It can be challenging, just taking a toll on both of them, one in general, on the caregiver, you know, on the patient. So they need to know that they have enough help out there to help them get through this financially. They can get in burdens as well. So they need to also make sure that they look into every option they have so they never have to worry about a financial burden. It's necessary when there is help out there for them. I think those are two of the biggest challenges as they go along. Kinda go hand in hand with that too as long they have the financial means and then the help. They're able to at least get through this a little bit better.
