If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you may want to read as much information about the disease as you can find. Finding reliable mesothelioma resources can be difficult.

The Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation (MARF) is another possibly helpful mesothelioma resource. In addition to medical information, MARF offers volunteer and advocacy information and lists mesothelioma events going on around the country.

One place you may want to start is the American Cancer Society. This organization has posted a detailed guide to mesothelioma with information about risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment.

Another possibly helpful mesothelioma resource is the National Cancer Institute. They offer treatment information, statistics, and information about clinical trials.

AsbestosTruth is a mesothelioma resource recommended by MARF. This website discusses legislation concerning mesothelioma.

Write Your Congressional Representative to support the bill to ban asbestos and provide federal funds for research into Mesothelioma.
