Mum diagnosed with mesothelioma

My mum has been diagnosed with epithelioid mesothelioma. She is in good health and has been offfered immunotherapy 

She looks so well and no real symptoms. Feels unreal but how much good health can she expect. I know it’s an impossible question to answer

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat H24, although I'm sorry to hear about your mum's diagnosis. 

    As you say, the question you've asked is one we're unfortunately unable to answer but as bone-cancer-patient has mentioned, our team of cancer nurses are just a phone call away if you'd like to speak with them. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to address your concerns and put your mind at ease about what's to come.

    I hope this information we have about mesothelioma and immunotherapy for mesothelioma will be useful as well and that some of our members who have been on this journey or had this treatment will be along soon to share their experiences and advice.

    Best wishes to you both,
