Peritoneal mesothelioma

Hi all,I am new to the forum and just seeing if anyone else out there has a diagnosis of Peritoneal Mesothelioma?My dad was diagnosed November 2018 after 4 months of tests. He received 2 cycles of chemotherapy but unfortunately could not tolerate the side effects he suffered. Presently he is well, able to get out each day to mine or my sister’s for lunch and tea..... His main problem is gross fatigue and pressure in his abdomen. He only takes 2-3 painkillers( codeine/paracetamol) daily so I was wondering if anyone has any ideas or experiences of relieving or helping these symptoms.....thankyou

  • Hi albert08,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to read about your dad's diagnosis. In terms of specific medical advice for your dad and for symptom relief, it's always best to speak to your dad's doctor who will be best placed to advise about his situation.

    For any others going through something similar, I've just searched the forum and found this thread from earlier this year which may be of some relevance for you.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
