Review for Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation Inc, Washington, DC, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

When I was told to contact the Mesothelioma Foundation after my husbands diagnosis I was apprehensive. Not sure if this was going to be another secretly fueled Lawyer website. I did call but was still unsure. There were so many questions about the disease and treatment. As well as the immediate unknown about how our life was going to change without an income.
It was only after I contacted another family that also had just been diagnosed with Mesothelioma and heard their first hand account of how the foundation had answered all the unknowns that I made my second call to the foundation.
And after that second call and over the next two years the foundation guided us through surgery, recovery, chemo, radiation by giving us the tools to make informed descisions. In addition, with the support (closed and private) groups online I could always ask another family a question and receive a firsthand opinion from someone or from many who have walked that mile in my shoes. The online support groups were the day to day support that helped me as a caregiver get through the best days and the worst days of my husbands treatment. As someone once told me "it's the worst way to meet the best people". I hold the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation in the highest esteem. The help and guidance we received was like being embraced by a family and guided by angels every step of the way.
