FOR VETERANS: INFO ON MESOTHELIOMA
If you are a veteran who has been exposed to asbestos in Navy ships, the Mesothelioma Veterans Center may be able to help you. They have a free veterans packet that will explain the top treatments, doctors and VA benefits. Asbestos was used in all U.S. Navy ships manufactured before 1980, and every Sailor or workman who served on these ships was likely exposed to asbestos. Click here to visit their site.
