Paul Kraus, 20 year mesothelioma survivor and author of "Surviving Mesothelioma…"

"Is There a Mesothelioma Cure or is it always a death sentence?"

I don’t think it is always a death sentence. My name is Paul Kraus and I have survived mesothelioma for over 20 years. I was diagnosed in July 1997 and I am still enjoying my life today.

Many people want to know how I survived, so I wrote down what I did in my book “Surviving Mesothelioma.” I know how frightening this diagnosis is so I want you to offer you a free copy.

Just fill in the information below and I will express ship a copy right to your door because I want you to survive mesothelioma just like I did...

This book covers why mesothelioma is NOT a death sentence. Request your copy now. It's free.

What The Doctors Aren't Telling You

There Is Only 1 Standard Chemotherapy Treatment

There is only one standard chemotherapy treatment for mesothelioma – two drugs used together. One drug is called Alimta and the other is cisplatin.

In the clinical trial that got these two drugs FDA approved, the median survival was only about 12 and a half months. This means that this standard mesothelioma treatment is definitely not a mesothelioma cure.

Whether you go to a hospital in California or New York or Michigan or Florida or anywhere in the USA, you will probably be offered these same two drugs. Unfortunately, it’s one size fits all.

The Peritoneal Combination for Success

For peritoneal mesothelioma, HIPEC is not a mesothelioma cure, but it is the treatment with the best record of success. It involves a combination of chemo and surgery.

During the surgery, a bath of heated chemotherapy is placed inside the patient and then washed out. This is designed to kill any remaining cancer cells.

If you have peritoneal mesothelioma and your doctor isn’t telling you about HIPEC, you should ask. So picking the right mesothelioma treatment and doctor is very important.

Some Surgeries Could Kill You

Another thing hopefully you will be told is that surgery is the best conventional chance at a mesothelioma cure, but some surgeries are more dangerous than others.

For example, one surgery used for pleural mesothelioma is called EPP (Extrapleural pneumonectomy). The survival rate (from the surgery itself) depends on the experience of your surgeon and his or her team. Some people even die from this surgery!

There is another less risky surgery that is less invasive called lung sparring surgery (Pleurectomy/decortication). The results for both mesothelioma treatments are about the same. This is information you need to know.

Clinical Trials May Be Your Best Hope

Your doctor may also not tell you that some of the latest treatments are being tested in clinical trials and may be your best hope for a mesothelioma cure.

For example, many hospitals are testing a special antibody used in cancer immunotherapy. It is called Keytruda.

Doctors are testing it alone and in combination with other mesothelioma treatments. So far, the results have been excellent in some patients.

Some Survivors Have Their Own "Cure"

Most doctors will not tell you that some long-term mesothelioma survivors have apparently discovered their own mesothelioma cure because they have survived so long.

12 Years of Treatment Options

We have been documenting many types of mesothelioma treatments for over 12 years. While these are not cures, we have organized the actual survival results from different treatments including chemo, radiation, surgery and clinical trials. This information comes from doctors. That way you can see what mesothelioma treatments provide the longest survival.

We even have some information on what treatments long-term survivors used when they used non FDA approved approaches.

For example, the longest mesothelioma survivor in the world is Paul Kraus. In his book "Surviving Mesothelioma and Other Cancers: A Patient's Guide" he details the mesothelioma treatments he used.

The Longest Living Mesothelioma Survivor?

Paul was diagnosed in 1997 and is still alive and well more than 20 years later. His book has been read by over ten thousand patients or their loved ones and is considered the best selling mesothelioma book in the world.

Does he have a mesothelioma cure?
