HI, My father has mesothelioma on his Plura. One large and 7 tiny tumours. The operation will be discussed and he has been told it's major and the whole pleura and diaphragm would be taken away and replaced with the mesh. He's very concerned by this a read so many scary articles. The question is he has a fast growing tumour. Whats the normal recovery time for this surgery in reality and is it a quality of life afterwards worth having? Or are you left partially disabled with the pain and lacking a normal life? This is his fear. Also does this operation gain significantly more time or will he recover in pain and that be his extra time? everyone is different so we are interested in your experience. He's also scared of the danger of dying under surgery as it his major. thanks
