Mesothelioma Victims Center's 2011 Initiative Focuses On Providing An Unparalleled Free Service For US Navy Veterans Diagnosed With Mesothelioma

The Mesothelioma Victims Center, and its unequaled free services were created after a close family member, who served in the United States Navy, was diagnosed with mesothelioma. This diagnosis occured nearly 40 years after his exposure to asbestos, on board a US Naval Vessel. The group says, "The saddest thing about mesothelioma is it does not rear its ugly head immediately after exposure to asbestos. Tragically, this incredibly rare form of cancer may take decades to show up, and every victim we talk to is stunned, a mesothelioma diagnosis happened to them." The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "While US Navy Veterans diagnosed with mesothelioma are our priority, there is nothing we would not do for a victim, or their loved ones, when it comes to this rare form of cancer." For more information just diagnosed victims of mesothelioma can call the Mesothelioma Victims Center anytime at 866-714-6466, or they can contact the group via its web site at http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com

The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "About 250 US citizens are diagnosed with mesothelioma each month. Of this group, one third served in the US Navy, another third worked in oil refineries, power plants, in shipyards, mines, as plumbers, pipe fitters, boiler technicians, city, or county municipal water workers, or auto repair technicians." The group says, "There is no other group in the US as passionate about helping victims, and their loved ones, and if you call us, we will make certain you get nothing but the best, which includes the names, and direct contact information for the best mesothelioma trial law firms, or attorneys in the US, not some middleman marketing law firm advertising for individuals, or their family members dealing with a mesothelioma diagnosis." For more information please call the Mesothelioma Victims Center anytime at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via its web site at http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com

The Mesothelioma Victims Center free service includes assistance if the mesothelioma victim, needs help with VA, or Social Security disability, a customized report detailing all the healthcare treatment options in the area of the mesothelioma victim, family counseling, and assistance, as well as the names of the best actual mesothelioma trial law firms, or trial attorneys in the US, not a mesothelioma personal injury marketing law firm advertising on cable TV. The group says, "We literally want to be the first call a just diagnosed mesothelioma victim, or their loved ones make, so we can try to provide them with free world class help, advice, and support. Just as importantly we want to make certain they get pointed in the right direction." http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.com

The Mesothelioma Victims Center is the premier mesothelioma advocate, and watchdog in the United States, for victims of mesothelioma. They say, "The Internet, talk radio, and cable TV are loaded with advertisements, about compensation, and or treatments for mesothelioma, ads talking about mesothelioma class actions, and or lawsuits, related to this rare form of cancer. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the attorneys, or law firms advertising for help, compensation, or heath care options for victims dealing with a mesothelioma diagnosis are middlemen marketing law firms, or personal injury marketing law firms-not the actual trial law firms, that will prosecute these cases." The group says, "We want to make certain all mesothelioma victims get to the actual trial law firms, or attorneys, that have the best record in achieving significant results for their clients dealing with a mesothelioma diagnosis-not a middleman marketing personal injury law firm, and we will give you their names, and contact numbers. You just decide who you like the best-no other group in the world does this." http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com

Can Excellent Physical Fitness Extend Life After a Mesothelioma Diagnosis?

Steve Lee, the inspirational long distance runner from Britain who raised £40,000 ($64,000) for lung cancer research has died from mesothelioma cancer.

Lee was diagnosed with mesothelioma in 2007, but he never stopped running. In 2009, the then 65-year-old Lee ran the Reading UK half marathon with his wife Ros.

Lee credited his excellent physical fitness with helping to prolong his life an amazing 3+ years after his mesothelioma diagnosis. Most patients pass away one year after their mesothelioma diagnosis.

Part of Lee's incredible drive to raise money came from the promise of the mesothelioma research.

That money has helped to fund research at Queen Mary, University of London, where researchers are synthesizing a naturally-occurring compound that is thought to kill mesothelioma cells. The university has matched the monetary contribution by Steve and his running club, and is continuing to build on work completed by Japanese scientists. The ultimate goal of the research is to determine if this compound can be used to treat victims of the deadly disease.
