An estimated 3,000 people are diagnosed with mesothelioma each year in the United States alone. Most are men in their 60's or 70's. Mesothelioma victims come from diverse backgrounds and locales, but have one thing in common-exposure to asbestos.

 

This page will feature the stories of mesothelioma patients and other victims of asbestos, as well as stories from their friends and loved ones. We hope that the stories posted here will provide insight into the effects of mesothelioma and inspiration to continue to fight against this terrible disease. We will also post information on how to contact others who are willing to talk about their experiences and lend a compassionate ear.

If you would like to post a story about yourself or someone you know who is or has battled mesothelioma or any other asbestos-related disease, or if you would like information about contacting other MAG friends who have done the same, please fill out the form.

All inquiries will be kept strictly confidential unless you indicate otherwise. Thank you for your participation. We wish you good luck and continued strength.
