Our Caring Community

Eleanor Ericson Mesothelioma NurseWhen you or a loved one receives a diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma, you become part of our caring and very special community. We understand the struggles you face and are here to help. We know you do not want to be a part of this community. It is, however, a community through which you can connect, share stories and experiences, and feel strength and support behind you through the challenging times.

Many new members of our community have preconceived notions of what these experiences may entail. Being a member can help one find the answers to make a well-informed decision regarding their treatment and the goals of their care.

Treatment of malignant mesothelioma requires a team led by dedicated physicians and experts in the mesothelioma field. In our community, there is no substitution for experience.

Whether you are a patient, a nurse working in a treatment group, a researcher or physician treating the disease or a family member, what unifies the mesothelioma community is the common purpose to help each other. Our community is a safe place to support each other and remind ourselves we are not alone in this battle.

Belonging and connecting is how a community becomes stronger. Humor can also help to strengthen a community, regardless of its intent or purpose. There is a movement called the “pink socks tribe” started by Nick Adkins, a former health care executive. Adkins gives away pink socks with mustaches to facilitate connections with each other. When he gives away a pair of pink socks, he connects with the person, looks them in the eye and shares the moment. With his pairs of pink socks, Adkins is connecting and making someone smile, opening a connection, helping the person to enjoy some silliness and inviting them to tell their story.

The mesothelioma community is an active group that will continue to work together to strengthen our connections with each other and win the battle against mesothelioma. For any new members reading, welcome, and continue to reach out and share to strengthen the bonds.
