Today is Mesothelioma Awareness Day
Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive cancer caused by asbestos exposure — often from work done decades ago in shipyards, construction, factories, refineries, or the military.
For many families, the diagnosis comes as a shock. The symptoms can feel confusing. And the path forward can feel overwhelming.
Today is about awareness, but it’s also about people — the individuals living with this disease, the families walking beside them, and the loved ones remembered.
If you or someone you love has been diagnosed and has questions about what comes next, you’re not alone. There is support, and there are options.
