Honor a Loved One with Mesothelioma During the Holidays on the Virtual Wall of Hope

CancerCare offers a place for people to honor their loved ones who have been affected with mesothelioma and other lung cancers. Through their online Wall of Hope people are encouraged to make an entry: “Celebrating survivors, remembering loved ones, or supporting people facing lung cancer today.”

Pleural mesothelioma is a rare, aggressive form of lung cancer primarily caused by exposure to airborne asbestos fibers. Close to 3,000 Americans are diagnosed with the cancer yearly.

Lungcancer.org, a program of CancerCare, is a nonprofit organization providing free support services to anyone affected by lung cancer and those that care for them. Lungcancer.org also offers information to promote awareness of the impact of environmental hazards such as asbestos resulting in mesothelioma and other lung diseases. Lungcancer.org is a partner with the Lung Cancer Clinical Trial Call To Action.
