Is there any advice for my family in dealing with my mesothelioma diagnosis?

 

It is very difficult for family members to come to terms with a mesothelioma diagnosis because they learn that it is a terminal illness and there is no cure for it. However, it is important for family members to spend quality time with you and enjoy your last moments together to the fullest. When you decide to file a claim against the manufacturers of asbestos, it puts you in a position of power because you have the ability to affect companies' future decisions on how they will deal with asbestos issues. It prevents other people from being exposed to asbestos further down the road. Knowing that your situation somehow helped someone else may ease feelings of despair for your family.
