Where Do You Go From Here?

After diagnosis, it is important to understand your treatment options. Your doctor or oncologist will provide you with information on the treatments that are available to you.

It is also important to know your legal rights. If you have mesothelioma, or any other asbestos-related disease, you were most likely exposed to asbestos. Many of the manufacturers of asbestos insulation products knew for decades that asbestos was hazardous, yet made a business decision not to warn people of those hazards. As a result, you may have a right of recovery against those manufacturers, which can help defray the costs of treatment and provide compensation for your pain and suffering.

For information on the legal implications of mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases, please visit The Right to Compensation section.

For general information on available treatments and protocols, please visit our Treatment Options section. In addition, the Boston area is home to some of the world's finest hospitals and doctors who specialize in treating mesothelioma, lung cancer, asbestosis, and similar asbestos-related diseases. Our Resources page contains contact information and links to help you learn more about some of those facilities and doctors.
