Free patient booklets about mesothelioma, asbestosis, pleural thickening and lung cancer

Posted: 18th Jun 15 1:15 PM

With the assistance of respiratory consultants and nurses we have produced three booklets outlining information about asbestos-related diseases, potential treatments and the support available to sufferers.

Alternatively, you can view them online by clicking the images at the bottom of this page…)

Being told by a doctor that you have an asbestos-related disease, and trying to work out what that means for the future, can be very traumatic. Patients are given life changing information at an emotional time, which is hard to understand and digest. After being diagnosed, most asbestos victims will leave the hospital or surgery with more questions than answers.

These three booklets were created for consultants, respiratory nurses and other medical professionals to give to patients to look at in the comfort of their own home when they feel ready. They are also available to anyone concerned about asbestos-related disease and past exposure to the deadly asbestos dust and fibres.

The three booklets offer easy to digest information about mesothelioma, asbestosis and pleural thickening, and lung cancer. They give basic details about the lung conditions, potential treatments, support, financial assistance and claiming compensation.

The information is meant to be a starting point and a stepping stone to more medical, financial and emotional help for asbestos victims, and their families, to call on when they are ready.
