When living with a loved one has mesothelioma, your emotions likely vacillate between highs – when you are filled with hope and positive expectation, and lows – when all seems lost. The disease is deadly and debilitating, but the human spirit is strong and hopeful. When these two collide it can take a tremendous emotional toll on both the sufferer of mesothelioma, and his or her family. Promises of aggressive treatments and possible breakthroughs often lead to one devastating setback after another. Ultimately, mesothelioma is almost always fatal.
For anyone who has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, the future may seem quite uncertain. The emotional toll of having been given such news is likely to last for quite some time, but many families do decide on ways to both build hope for a cure and enjoy the time they have remaining. In a touching video, one family has opened up this private process to the world.
Though there is no cure for mesothelioma, scientists and doctors are currently hard at work. In the mean time, those suffering from the disease face a year or more of difficult and expensive treatments.
