Mesothelioma or conventional lung cancer

Sorry you are both in this position.  Really you should be seeking legal advice in case your husband is entitled to compensation.  We can probably all recommend solicitors but perhaps macmillan keep a list.

Hi roni

Thanks for your reply we have contacted a solicitor about compensation from the Turner and Newall Trust and my husband has been awarded Industrial Injuries benefit. We have been told by the consultant that his lung cancer is due to asbestos exposure and he also has pleural thickening and benign pleural plaques. His CT scan reports all say his cancer is “compatible with mesothelioma “ but pathology and biopsy results have been “equivocal “ so they are treating it as NSCLC adenocarcinoma. We know that as his cancer is Stage 4 there is probably little difference to treatment but we don’t know whether to ask for a second opinion regarding it possibly being mesothelioma and if it would make any difference either way. 
I have read your profile and found it inspiring!!!!!

I’ve read your profile and see your husband is on treatment and it appears to be doing some good, thank goodness. As to second opinion, everyone has to decide this for themselves.  You are entitled to it.  I asked for extra advice twice, i thought i’d put it in my profile but it isn’t there!!!! First time round i sent my ct scan to a doctor in the states to ask about cryablation but it was no go. Then i went up to sheffield to see a surgeon about peeling the meso from the lungs, i went away to think about it - i’m still thinking!!!!! (About 10 years on!!!).
