| | Mesothelioma Cancer Diagnosed- Questions to askWritten by Paul Curran
Following diagnosis, uppermost amongst a patient's thoughts will be these..."Am I going to die?", "Will I be in much pain?". As there is no cure for mesothelioma it is important that patient is advised that with modern treatment they can, for months or years, live a normal life for most of time. And that modern drugs are very effective at keeping pain under control and relieving it.Obviously treatment aspect is extremely important and patient and close relatives must ensure that they get consultant and doctors to explain comprehensively how it is all going to work. It is advisable to compile a list of questions to put to medical staff prior to any appointments or consultations and to get a relative or close friend to go along with patient. I would advise taking a look on internet for information about disease and printing out relevant bits. I did this when my father was diagnosed with stomach cancer. When I showed consultant what I had been studying, I sensed a more open discussion and perhaps a few more technical details were covered that otherwise might not have been. There is no harm in taking notes with you and you might even consider taping discussion. These are potentially highly stressful and upsetting meetings which might mean that you don't remember all that was said. You'll want to know where and when treatments will take place.
