Practical and emotional support with mesothelioma
Just as with other asbestos-related illnesses, mesothelioma strikes people without warning, long after they have experienced exposure to asbestos. No cancer can be dealt with easily, but mesothelioma can be especially traumatic to cope with, hitting many at a time when they are anticipating being able to enjoy their hard-won retirement.
While mesothelioma compensation can help with many practical and monetary aspects of dealing with the disease, counselling exists to help people manage the traumatic emotional aspects of suddenly being forced to face up to mortality.
Mesothelioma counselling
From the moment you are first diagnosed with disease, there are those who are there to help.
Both the doctors and nursing staff who you deal with in visits to the hospital, while not specialist counsellors, will have specialist training on the emotional and psychological issues affecting mesothelioma sufferers.
Any specialist mesothelioma nurse you encounter should also possess a wealth of knowledge on the help and services available to you; from practical aids, to counselling services, to personal injury solicitors who can help provide you with mesothelioma compensation.
They should also be able to provide relevant information to anyone interested in joining an Asbestos Support Group.
Mesothelioma sufferers may also find the support of a hospital social worker helpful.
The hospital may, depending on where you live, put you in touch with any one of the following organisations:
- Cheshire Asbestos Victims Support Group
- West Yorkshire Asbestos Action Group
- Derbyshire Asbestos Support Team
- Merseyside Asbestos Victims Support
- Sheffield and Rotherham Asbestos Group
- Bradford Asbestos Victims Support Group
- Asbestos Disease Awareness Organisation
- Hampshire Asbestos Support and Awareness Group
- Greater Manchester Asbestos Victims Asbestos Support Group
- Clydesdale Action on Asbestos
- Cancer Counselling Trust
- Maggie's Centres
Practical mesothelioma support
As well as seeking mesothelioma compensation, there are several other things you can do to receive practical support for living with mesothelioma.
Your hospital social worker will be able to tell you about such local practical support as home-help, meals-on-wheels and state benefits.
