Hello, 

My dad has been diagnosed with mesothelioma in January this year. He has been keeping quite well so far, undergone 5 chemotherapy treatments, which has been tough on him but hes has been coping and the results were good. After 5th chemo 3 weeks ago he started to deteriorate, he is very weak, and suffers badly from pain. He has been put on morphine now as other medication did not do much for him any more. It is very hard to watch him in this condition. I would like to ask, if there is anyone here who had to deal with mesothelioma, how does the desease progress? We don’t really know what to expect, the general info available on internet doesn’t really talk on things we experience on a daily basis.  Is there a possiblity that this is a temporary slow down, and he can still get better for a while at least? My dad is 67, and in good general health, the treatment( according to his doctor) is going well, so we find it very confusing to see him getting worse...I know this is non curable cancer, but would like to hear from others who know first hand about the desease about their experience, if you are happy to share...
