My Dad was diagnosed with mesothelioma of the peritoneal in May this year. He started immunotherapy but unfortunately 3 weeks ago was told it had been unsuccessful. He is constantly vomiting. Is on sickness tablets but nothing seems to touch it. Wondered if anyone had experienced this and found anything to relief this symptom?
Hi Kezer and a warm welcome to this corner of the Community although I am sorry to see folks joining us and to hear a out your dad’s diagnosis.
I don’t have Mesothelioma but I was diagnosed back in 2012 with Asbestosis (Pleural Thickening and Pleural Plaque) that at the moment is thankfully stable….. but my main fight has been 24 years with a rare incurable blood cancer.

Talking to people face to face can be very helpful so do check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area, do also check for a local Maggie's Centre as these folks are amazing and support all the family and some centres do run a Mesothelioma support group.
