Pre-Planning
Your story is unique… and like most people, you probably have certain ideas about how you want your life celebrated and remembered. As with all the important milestones accomplished over your lifetime, planning your end-of-life celebration should be done with careful thought. The death of a loved one is a very difficult time for everyone. Yet, during this period of grief and emotional readjustment, family members and friends are often confronted with dozens of decisions about the memorial services. • What would our loved one have wanted? • What kind of funeral should it be? • What should be included? • Who needs to be notified? • How much will it cost? By preplanning, these questions and many more will be answered in advance so your family is relieved of that burden.

When mesothelioma is diagnosed, it is often in such a late stage that the patient’s life expectancy is fairly short. Hospice can be a good choice for people who aren’t responding to curative treatments and want to alleviate the pain caused by mesothelioma. The patient advocate team at Mesothelioma Guide has helped thousands of families through their battles with mesothelioma. Our advocates are experienced in every step of helping patients and their families.’
Your prognosis is the estimated outcome of your specific mesothelioma diagnosis. It determines the likelihood of you overcoming this cancer, and we would like to help you beat the odds and improve your prognosis, one step at a time. Mesothelioma is a rare, aggressive cancer with a generally unfavorable prognosis. Most patients have a life expectancy ranging from four to 18 months; however, there are many factors that influence your individual prognosis and there are ways for you to extend your life past your initial life expectancy. Understanding your mesothelioma prognosis and how you can improve it can help you make decisions about treatment. It can also help you cope, move forward and increase your quality of life.
