Review for Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation Inc, Alexandria, VA, USA
MARF has been a wonderfully supportive organization, providing links between patients and doctors, researchers, and other patients as well as information on the latest research into the treatments and causes of mesothelioma. Patients with this rare disease often have little local access to information, and this is the one organization with links throughout the country that can provide help that is often not available through doctors and hospitals. MARF also lobbies for legislation to eliminate the danger of asbestos, which still exists, despite the widespread notion that it has been removed.
