Hi Steve,
I am so sorry you were diagnosed with mesothelioma. I just read your posting, even though I can see you posted a while ago. If you would still like to talk to someone about mesothelioma specialists, I would suggest contacting Mary Hesdorffer, the nurse practitioner for the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation (MARF). You can speak to her for free by calling the MARF number at 877 END MESO (877 363 6376). Good luck.
