is mesothelial hyperplasia a precurser to malignant mesothelioma? Just found out that not all asbestosis is cancerus. I can't find anything on non-cancerus mesothelial hyperplasia of the lungs. All my rearches turn up malignant mesothelioma. Whats up???? Whats the treatment? Is there treatment? My MD refused to talk to me about it. I only found out by reading my lung biopsy pathology report. My specialist quit me before I could ask for treatment. Go figure? "At least do no harm"? right Please don't tell me to ask a MD. That is like Duuuu!! Keep in mind I live in USA, not Canada, so finding a specialist in this field who is about helping vs ego & statis is VERY difficult. And I'm also working class & a person of color , so finding a specialist who will even glance my way is like finding a needle in a haystack.
my mum has Mesothelioma, how can I take good care of her? She had a surgery 5 weeks ago, the doctor had removed her right lung, she is still very weak now and has a very bad cough in the evenings, she will be having radiotherapy from next week onwards and her chemotherapy will start in July, the doctor told us that there are malignant cells on the area of her heart also and this is very worrying. We live in singapore and Mesothelioma is very rare here. She is 59 yrs old.

What would you do? My name is Fiona and my best friend has cancer. Its called Malignant Mesothelioma. It is extremely deadly, really rare, and most people only live 24 months after diagnosis. But because it took her doctors so long to diagnose, they are predicting she only has three months. I have known this person almost my whole life and I love her so so much. I want to do something really special for her, something that will show her how much i love her and how much i have appreciated my life with her. This news is fairly new to me, so i don't have a real clear idea of what i should do. What would you do?
