Understanding a Veteran with PTSD Help For Veterans Struggling With Addiction
Mesothelioma - "My name is Virgil Anderson. I came across your website and thought you might be interested in my message.

I was recently diagnosed with Mesothelioma, which is a cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. From automotive to demolition work, I’ve had many jobs in my life that contributed to my exposure. On some jobs, the air was so thick with debris and asbestos, you could taste it in your mouth.

Many other groups of people come in contact with a lot of asbestos and are also at risk. One such group are Veterans who were usually exposed aboard asbestos laden Navy ships. In fact, about 30% of Mesothelioma victims are Veterans.

When I was diagnosed with Mesothelioma I needed immediate medical attention. I found a few websites on the internet that are supposed to help people with my type of cancer but nobody got back to me.

Then I found Mesothelioma.net. Even though I contacted them on a Sunday one of their patient advocates gave me a call back within minutes. They gave me a great deal of helpful information on doctors and resources available to me.

As a result of their website I am now being treated at the national cancer institute and the patient advocates have even provided me with financial assistance so I could afford a place to live during my chemotherapy. If I had not reached out to this website I would likely be homeless and more importantly in Hospice waiting to die. These people gave me my only chance at survival."
