Mesothelioma diagnosed

My husband was diagnosed last week and we are now waiting for his first appointment with the Oncologist. Had anyone diagnosed at an early stage have experience of immunotherapy? We don’t know if he is suitable for this yet but it was mentioned last year if the suspect cells were mesothelioma.

  • Welcome to the Cancer Chat, diddydoddy.

    I’m sorry to hear about your husband’s recent diagnosis, it’s a lot to process, and I hope you find this space supportive and helpful as you navigate this situation.

    You mentioned immunotherapy, and while I can’t give medical advice, you might find this page useful: Immunotherapy. It provides an overview of how immunotherapy works and might help you prepare for conversations with your husband’s oncologist.

    Hopefully others who have faced similar situations can share their experiences with you soon.

    Wishing you strength as you take these next steps.

    All the best to you and your husband,

    Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator
