Mesothelioma Help

What can you do to help yourself or your loved one to alleviate some of the symptoms of mesothelioma?

Here are some ideas for self help that you may consider

• Try leaning forward and resting on a table to ease breathing
• Stand up and lean forward, again to make breathing easier
• Get a fan to gently blow cool air onto your face*.  This can be a small hand held fan.
• Open a window and sit by the air that comes through it
• Breathing control techniques may also help you

* If you are in the UK you can get free fans by calling the Mesothelioma UK Helpline on 0800 169 2409 or you can send an email to mesothelioma.uk@uhl-tr.nhs.uk
