2. Create a network of support.
A diagnosis of mesothelioma impacts not only patients, but also family, friends, and loved ones. All together, they can help form a support network. People who care can help with daily tasks, including taking you to doctor appointments, cancer treatments, or just out to eat, sit, talk. Some patients may find it difficult to ask for help, but it is important for you to be honest and accept the help when you need it.
