Paul Kraus from Austria and Barry Knowles from Australia - longest survivors of mesothelioma



Paul Kraus and Barry Knowles are not the only long-term survivors of malignant mesothelioma. There are some people who survive beyond all odds for quite a while. Most of their survival seems to be due to a better immune system conditioning. Some used alternative or complementary therapies (under guidance from licensed clinicians) in addition to the chemotherapy, while others participated in clinical trials of immune therapy.

Paul Krauss from Austria


Paul Krauss from Austria has written a book on surviving mesothelioma called "SURVIVING MESOTHELIOMA: A PATIENT’S GUIDE" In 1997, Kraus was diagnosed with mesothelioma, a type of cancer caused by asbestos.  Despite his "terminal" diagnosis Kraus is considered to be the longest known mesothelioma survivor in the world. Today, Kraus is a well known Australian author and cancer survivor whose writings focus on Australia, health, and spiritualism. His book Surviving Mesothelioma and Other Cancers: A Patient’s Guide is a best-selling book on the subject.

Barry Knowles from Perth, Australia

Barry Knowles from Perth, Australia also wrote a book of his experience of surviving the cancer called " Reflections through Reality"

Immigrating to Western Australia with his family in 1952 as a ten-pound Pom, Barry Knowles was fourteen when he took up an apprenticeship as a carpenter and joiner.

His skills and his honest, hardworking approach made Barry a respected and valued member of the WA building industry until his retirement in 2007 – but Barry paid the ultimate price.  Diagnosed with mesothelioma in 2010 and given six months to live, Barry Knowles has defied the odds and now, with the support of his wife, he shares their darkest hours.

Barry’s despair gives way to hope as he discovers a new purpose and a deeper determination founded on his faith, and buoyed by the love of those around him.
