With the holidays approaching everyone can feel a bit overwhelmed at times. But when you’re battling mesothelioma it can be a particularly challenging time of year. The MesoRC will be putting out a series of tips for those suffering or have a loved one suffering from mesothelioma to help during the busy holiday season. 

Today’s tip is- Mesothelioma patients must learn how to say "no."

You may feel obligated to attend every function or gathering you’re invited to, but it’s important to set limits on your socializing. If you have mesothelioma, entertaining guests and traveling can be both physically and emotionally draining. Use discretion when scheduling visits to and from friends and family. And if you need to leave a gathering early (or skip it entirely), make no apologies and resist feelings of guilt. People will understand if you’re unable to participate in all activities.
