Unfortunately my brother has been diagnosed with mesothelioma.  Apparently early stages. Had a biopsy and the drain has finally come out after no more fluid for 7 drains. He has had an appointment with the oncologist but wanted to wait to decide on what treatment until after the drain was taken out. I know that he doesn't want to have any because of what he's heard about side effects or the treatment making it worse.  He won't talk to anyone that can give him information on what has or has not worked for them. He won't go to support groups 

He's old school, old fashioned and is shy on talking to people. So I thought that I'd just come back on here,  to see if I can get as much information, evidence as possible, to try to help him decide. His next appointment with the oncologist to make a decision will be soon, hopefully next week sometime.

Any thoughts will be gratefully received.
