Hi and welcome. You may want to join and post this in the dedicated Mesothelioma group as this is a safe place to talk to other people who might have a similar diagnosis or treatment experience.
Sorry to hear about your Dad. Two members of my family had mesothelioma, one was mt Dad who'd worked with asbestos from the 50s until he retired and the othe was his sister who had lived in the same house. He did have surgery for the secondary in his brain but unfortunately it was too late by this stage. He wore no protective equipment at that time. Take care
