Hi. Mom just diagnosed a week ago. She's just home from the hospital and we're trying to figure it all out. Hoping to hear from some others that have this or are supporting someone who has it. So much information to wade through... help!

" Hi dionnep7. I'm sorry to hear about your mom's diagnosis. My dad was diagnosed last november. He went through chemo in February and March and now he is at my house on hospice care since his mesothelioma has advanced. If you have any questions that I might be able to answer, I would be happy to. "

" cncertutor.com has been really informative. My dad (79) diagnosed about 4 weeks ago. We've chosen to take the alternative holistic route in an attempt to make what time he has the most pleasant. The anxiety is awful! Try to take each day and each bit of information as it comes. A good friend shared this quote with me.

"Faith is giving up control without giving up the fight. God's strength is made perfect in weakness."

Everyone dealing with this is in my prayers. "
