My dad has mesothelioma cancer, what should I expect?
My dad is 49 and has mesothelioma in his abdomen. He just got surgery to remove the tumors and started his first treatment of chemo during surgery. What should I expect and what can I do to support/take care of him?
Best reply by Ahranee B:
I think you shoud just be there for him. He might have to have a lot of surgeries and he will be weak and sometimes in pain. Don’t annoy him. Just to warn you, these tumours could come back in some more dangerous places and if they aren’t treated he might pass away. Force him to do everything that makes him healthy whether he like it or not. Regular doctor checks and everything. If he says he has a slight pain or something don’t ignore it. There is not much you can do other than that. I hope your dad gets better.
