Hello OwlBlue83
Welcome to the Online Community.
I am really sorry to hear of your Dad's diagnosis of mesothelioma and it must be a very difficult time for you.
Hopefully you will have spoken to the consultant regarding his MRI results now and what will happen next.
There is some information here that may help. There is some information about mesothelioma and how to get further support from Macmillan.

We also have another forum that may be worth looking at as it is for people who are supporting someone with cancer that is incurable. It may be helpful to share experiences with others who are in similar circumstances. Sometimes it can help just to have a look at previous posts.
