 Don't let a cancer patient read this one!!! December 19, 2007

This book is dated in its information. Since this book was published there have been approved chemotherapy agents (Alimta) and the prognosis has gotten alot better. I am very sorry that I let my dad read this book. It took days to get over the depression.

When my husband was diagnosed with Mesothelioma the world crashed in around us. Doctors unfamiliar with the latest advances condemmed him to death within months
This was not acceptable, and we needed real answers to our questions and FAST!
Harvey Pass has done an excellent job of de-mystifying the illness and his well written guide pointed us in the right direction to get the best help available.
Thanks Harvey for a lifesaving (and encouraging) manual
Cancer Sucks! (but some good information is a god send) August 21, 2005

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with Mesothelioma, PLEASE get this book. With all the confusing, and contradictory information out there, it's nice to have a good reference. Its plain English, it's hopeful but real, it's compassionate. Written by a Dr., Nurse, and a Patients Spouse, it gives real information in a way that there is no question what is meant. It's allot of the questions that you would ask, if you could.
I hope that no one has to buy this book, because it means that there is a long hard journey ahead. God Bless
The only patient/family friendly book on mesothelioma January 31, 2005

100 Questions & Answers About Mesothelioma is the only patient/family friendly book on mesothelioma on the market. Using the Q & A format, it explores a wide range of issues faced by the patient and his/her family, and does so in a clear, direct manner.
Harvey I. Pass, MD, one of the authors, writers this in the Preface:
"It is written to try to guide; it is not written as a thesis. It is a distillation of "important things," as opposed to a collection of useless medical facts. It is meant to be personal for those who use it, and hopefully to cool that "rage-fear" reaction that you, the reader, are probably undergoing since you, or somebody you know, has been diagnosed with the disease. We want you to be better prepared to start on this unknown path..."
I wish I had had this book two years ago when my father was diagnosed with mesothelioma. The calm voice of the book would have done a good deal in helping my family overcome the shock and sadness.
