The Importance of Mesothelioma Advocacy

Anyone who lives with pleural mesothelioma or cares for someone with the rare disease knows that educating the public about the struggles facing mesothelioma sufferers takes continuous effort. In order to get the word out about this incurable disease support is needed from organizations, the government, the medical community and a lot of concerned citizens.
Pleural mesothelioma, a rare, aggressive form of lung cancer caused by past exposure to asbestos, is one of the most difficult cancers to treat and is diagnosed in close to 3,000 Americans each year. With so few diagnosis and patients, it is even more critical to advocate on behalf of all mesothelioma survivors and victims. Research for mesothelioma is desperately needed, and researchers rely on donations from the public to keep their projects funded and moving forward.
The primary goals of advocates of mesothelioma patients are to promote awareness of the disease, honor those dealing with terminal cancers, and to increase support for their families and the mesothelioma community.

How Can You Start Advocating For The Mesothelioma Community?

  • Educate yourself about mesothelioma. If you do not know the basic facts of mesothelioma, it is important that you learn them. Read through the information on Mesothelioma Help and find those key points that ‘speak’ to you, such as mesothelioma is incurable, mesothelioma can strike decades after exposure to asbestos, and the only way to prevent mesothelioma is by not being exposed to the mineral in the first place.
  • Talk about mesothelioma. Tell everyone you meet about the tragedy of mesothelioma. The more you talk about it, the more you will spread awareness of the disease. Passing on information about how mesothelioma impacts patients and their families creates an understanding of the disease and can lead to donations for more research or support of patients undergoing treatments.
  • Don’t downplay the disease. Mesothelioma is a serious cancer and families dealing with the disease face significant medical, financial and emotional challenges. If someone in your family is battling mesothelioma, make sure that when you talk about it you talk about the many issues that you deal with every day.

Mesothelioma Patients and Their Families Urged to Get the Flu Shot

The flu season is estimated to run from December through March annually, although you can get the flu at any time of the year. This year the flu is particularly serious, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announcing on January 26 that the flu activity has not yet peaked for the season.
The flu can be  a serious condition for anybody: patients and family members of all ages, from the very young to the very old. The very young and the elderly are particularly at risk  for the  severe symptoms that  the flu can cause. Patients with mesothelioma are on average around 72-years-old making them in the vulnerable group for this potentially serious condition. This year the flu has affected people in the continental United States and Puerto Rico.
The flu vaccine is recommended for most people. If you have not received it, talk to your medical team about getting it immediately. You can develop the flu even after getting the flu shot, but the course of the virus is usually less severe.
The flu is a virus that is contagious. Someone with the flu virus can infect other people beginning one day before symptoms develop, and five to seven days after becoming sick. Children can pass the virus for longer than seven days. Symptoms start one to four days after the virus enters the body. The flu can be passed on before you know you are sick and after the virus enters the body.
People with the flu can spread it to others from as far as six feet away. It is thought to be spread primarily by droplets from people with the flu when they sneeze, cough or talk. The droplets are then inhaled by  people nearby into their lungs. The symptoms  can come on quickly. The flu has a variety of symptoms. Some of the symptoms include high fever, respiratory illness, chills, severe aches in muscles and joints, pain and tiredness around your eyes, weakness or extreme fatigue, warm flushed skin and red watery eyes, headache, a dry cough, sore throat and runny nose. The treatment for the flu is to drink plenty of fluids, rest, and stay away from people so as not to spread the virus.
The flu can produce serious symptoms  for some people who may benefit from anti-viral medications. The three common anti-virals that are prescribed are oseltamivir or Tamiflu, peramivir or Rapivab, zanamivir or Relenza. They all work best if taken within 48 hours of your first symptoms. It is thought that the medicines can shorten the length of your illness by a day, if you take them at the beginning of the symptoms.
The flu is an attack on your immune system.  For some people it can be fatal. After getting the flu chances of heart attack are increased six-fold during the first seven days of a flu infection.
For patients and their families with malignant mesothelioma, the flu needs to be taken very seriously. You need to be in touch with your medical team particularly if any shortness of breath develops. Wash your hands frequently, isolate yourself if you suspect the flu, and please let your mesothelioma medical team know. The flu is serious!
