What an anxious time it must be for you vgawn as you are waiting for a possible mesothelioma diagnosis for your husband. Poor him, 6 litres of pleural fluid drained away - that is a lot. How unfortunate that this is happening to him when he has never smoked or been a drinker and I am so sorry to hear he is so unwell and has no energy. It's normal to be terrified of the diagnosis and I hope that they will rule out mesothelioma. Don't feel bad about needing to cry - you are doing your best to support him during this really challenging time of uncertainty, seeing him so poorly and feeling powerless. The not knowing what is going on can be so hard as many of our members will know only too well and I thought I would share with you some helpful tips to help you cope while waiting for important news. 

Just a few days to wait now until you find out more and I just wanted you to know we are thinking of you and keeping everything crossed for you. If you don't mind, please come back and update us next week on how the appointment went and what they have found. I hope your husband feels better soon and that they find out what is causing these issues. 

Best wishes,
