Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is a form of cancer। But — 1) there is no cancer from which someone has not been cured, 2) there are promising new treatments for mesothelioma, and 3) there is growing support of many kinds for cancer patients and their families and friends। Link to a letter of encouragement and advice from Dick Bloch, lung cancer survivor and founder of the R.A. Bloch Cancer Foundation, which seeks to help all cancer patients in the process of successfully conquering their disease. (Your browser will open another window for the letter.) And do not be overwhelmed by the statistics of prognosis! Return to this window and link to an article demystifying the claims of statistics by long-time mesothelioma survivor and well-known professor of natural history Stephen Jay Gould.
