About the Mesothelioma Video Library
Welcome to the Mesothelioma Video Library, a place for patients, families and friends to learn more about the rare cancer caused by asbestos.
The Mesothelioma Video Library was created with a simple purpose in mind – to inform and inspire people affected by mesothelioma. The Mesothelioma Video Library gives you first rate information: educational videos and articles geared toward helping you better understand the disease, interviews with medical experts, and interviews with real people dealing with the disease on a daily basis.
The Internet is often the first resource newly diagnosed patients and family members turn to for information about mesothelioma. While there are countless websites about mesothelioma, far too few of them deliver accurate, meaningful information.
That’s why we’ve worked directly with the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation to ensure we’re delivering you accurate information. As the nation’s leading resources for patients and families facing mesothelioma, the Meso Foundation gave us access to Medical Liason and former nurse practitioner Mary Hesdorffer. Mary has spent the past 11 years actively treating patients with mesothelioma, and we are extremely grateful for her time and contribution to this website. If you’re looking for answers, a great way to get started is to visit our Common Questions library, where Mary addresses many of the tough issues facing patients and families.
Each year nearly 3,000 people are diagnosed with mesothelioma. Our True Stories library gives you access to just a few of these people and their family members. These videos give you a first-hand look at real people that have faced this disease head on.
Lastly, we invite you to visit our Mesothelioma Community Forum, where you have the opportunity to connect with other people dealing with the unique challenges of the cancer.
