I can’t even imagine it. You think you’re perfectly healthy, you go to the doctor for a regular check-up, and you’re told you have only a few months to live. It happened to Paul Kraus in 1997, when doctors informed him that he had been diagnosed with
mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer that infests the protective sacs (mesothelium) that surround the body’s internal organs. It was a shocking blow with an unexpected outcome. You see, Paul Kraus survived, and he’s written all about his experiences in
Surviving Mesothelioma and Other Cancers: A Patient's Guide.
As outlined on Kraus’ highly informative website, there are two forms of mesothelioma: pleural mesothelioma (which involves the sac the surrounds the lung) and
peritoneal mesothelioma (which involves tissue in the abdominal area). In either case, a
mesothelioma prognosis is not usually good, as Paul Kraus can attest. But after working with doctors to create a treatment regimen, Kraus is going strong 12 years later. For a limited time, he is offering free copies of his book
Surviving Mesothelioma and Other Cancers: A Patient's Guide. If you know anyone with mesothelioma or any other type of cancer, visit his website today. There is hope – no matter what the doctors say!
