The Mesothelioma Resource Center is excited to announce the launch of a new site feature: the MesoRC Marketplace. Working in an affiliate partnership with Amazon.com, MesoRC has compiled a list of books and resources that mesothelioma patients and family members may find helpful.

The Marketplace features informational publications on mesothelioma as well as books on caregiving, coping, facing death and loss, managing side effects and treatment, and nutrition. Visit the Novelties link to find shirts, mugs, and keychains dedicated to raising mesothelioma awareness.

Items can be purchased by clicking on the images on the Marketplace page. MesoRC's proceeds from the Marketplace will go directly to the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation in hopes of finding a cure.

The fight against mesothelioma is made possible by individuals who actively contribute to funding research and advocating for asbestos awareness.  MesoRC happily and proudly announces the introduction of a Tribute Wall, to acknowledge and thank those individuals who have made a contribution to the battle against mesothelioma.

Each name on the wall represents a member of the MesoRC community; upon joining, the Law Offices of James Sokolove donated $200 in their name to the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation.  We especially thank those members who have been personally affected by the disease, or who have donated in honor of a mesothelioma victim. In joining the MesoRC community, these individuals have helped MARF become one step closer to a cure.

The Mesothelioma Resource Center--MesoRC--was founded to fill a void for mesothelioma patients who needed a comprehensive and inclusive place to find information, support, and advice.   The success of the site has prompted an expansion; MesoRC now includes resources for non-cancerous asbestos-related diseases.

The site aims to extend its sense of community and connectivity beyond mesothelioma patients to people affected by asbestosis, interstitial fibrosis, and pleural disease. These rare, debilitating diseases are often underfunded; in expanding MesoRC to address these conditions, the Law Offices of James Sokolove hope to provide an understandable and thorough resource for a population of patients that remain under-served. “The early success of MesoRC showed us that the site was making a significant difference for mesothelioma patients who literally had nowhere to turn, and we knew that victims of these other rare diseases could also benefit from an online resource center. As a firm, our mission is about finding innovative, customer-focused ways to serve our clients’ needs, and expanding MesoRC to help more people is one way we’re doing that," said Mike Skoler, CEO of LOJS.
