Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that affects the mesothelium; a thin membrane that lines the inner surface of the chest wall, abdomen and testicles, and 9 out 10 cases are caused by exposure to asbestos, according to Mesothelioma UK. The charity offers support and campaigns on behalf of mesothelioma patients and their carers, and its website contains lots of information about prevention, awareness, symptoms and treatments as well as legal advice and guidance on benefits and compensation. There is also a range of downloadable booklets and a Care Passport, which is a resource that can be used to record and plan care and treatment.
