Mesothelioma Survivor Speaks


Mesothelioma survivor, Paul Kraus and his wife Sue spoke to another inspiring teleconference on June 06. They addressed over 30 newly diagnosed mesothelioma patients and their relatives. During the session, they talked about Paul’s diagnosis and prognosis, the physical treatments he pursued, the mental and spiritual approaches he used, working with doctors, and the caregiver’s perspective.
Paul was diagnosed in 1997, with widely disseminated mesothelioma cancer. Paul’s doctors expressed that his cancer was “terminal” and that he should start putting his activities one by one. Rather than giving up, he made his own path to remedial using many alternative and integrative therapies and modalities. At the moment, after 11 years of his “death sentence” diagnosis, Mr. Kraus is happily living.
Paul also wrote a book about his healing journey and named it “Surviving Mesothelioma and Other Cancers: A Patient’s Guide”.
