Asbestos Lung Mesothelioma
Is there anyone with a relative with asbestos cancer?
My husband was diagnosed last month with Mesothelioma (asbestos related cancer), receive a port Thursday, and chemotherapy next week. Talcum right lung had a lining of the chest wall. What should I expect further next to the side effects of chemotherapy?. I suppose I do?
I'm very sorry. It's terrible, terrible disease and so desperate at every turn. I lost my dad to mesothelioma in 2003. His brother died from a few years ago, but progress is being made against the disease all the time. Claimed my uncle in just 9 months, but my father was almost 3 years – and was on medications that have not even been invented when my uncle was fighting it. I suppose in also present. We were lucky because he has been treated by Dr. Jablon at UCSF, one of the leading researchers in the field. My father had chemotherapy, followed experimental surgery, then radiation, chemotherapy, and then release some chemotherapy drugs that are compassionate part of a clinical trial. My father was an active and physically fit, was therefore able to monitor your condition very well (actually had to walk 5 miles to go after his radiation daily). He could not really control your breathing and chest drain would get short-term improvement. As you become ill, complains much of the big gorilla, "which felt like it was the compression of his chest all the time. It also had a lot of pain that worsens their disease progressed – All the pain is in chest and lungs. He lost a little weight, as became ill and, finally, oxygen and could not walk across the room without having to sit and catch his breath. Some side effects of chemotherapy were strange that all black hair fell, but kept his gray hair – if he looked older, almost overnight. It was weird. And any metallic taste to it when I was in chemotherapy (cisplatin and forgot what the other) … all that is hot, but dogs. I think some of the best advice we had was really meaningful to do each day and be as close family. The other thing that was a great piece of advice that Dr. Jablon's probably not so obvious he was not afraid of young doctors. The second oncologist remember my father was young, we thought it would be 17. But young doctors are for usually very willing to work hard and all that research and everything to try to find a way to help buy some time, while most of older, more experienced oncologists tend to accept as a death sentence meso. Younger physicians tend to make lots of advice oncologists with experience rather than relying on their knowledge, in May and have options open to participate in clinical trials in which most veterans have used all their trials. I suppose that as many research studies is that each doctor is approved patients in the 1.2, so some doctors have used all their trials. As usually takes a lot of paperwork and effort to patients in some trials too, but with a doctor who has the tenacity to make sure everything is done to ensure their patients included a relief. Sorry, this page is long, but I hope some, if useful.
