Once you have found the doctor and treatment facility you feel comfortable with, you and your doctor will discuss the treatment options that are available to you. Some mesothelioma patients may want to investigate treatment options first and then approach a doctor who is known for that type of treatment to determine whether he or she is a candidate. Each individual is different. The course of the disease will vary, and so will the patient’s approach to treatment. Working closely and openly with your mesothelioma treatment team is important to getting the best outcome from treatment, and the first way your treatment team will help you is in assessing the treatment options available to you. Some of the options you discuss may include surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. You may discuss whether a clinical trial is appropriate for you or whether innovative mesothelioma treatments could be helpful in your case.
