Summary: The only patient/family friendly book on mesothelioma
Review: 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.
