Hello everyone, I was diagnosed with Mesothelioma in July last year 2024, I have only 30% lung capacity/function so a biopsy can not be taken and no anaesthetic as I would not survive the op. I do have a 40 year cough which now makes be breathless especially on cloudy day and exertion. I have had my chest drained once. I know it is terminal.
I take no medication apart from inhalers and I am cheerful and reasonably active. (as can be expected for a 75 year oldie)I am still driving and meeting friends and laughing a lot with husband and family. I walk the dog briefly in calm weather but not far, well that’s my excuse anyway. . I have experienced a wonderful life ( apart from ten years) I know I will not be flying away on exotic holidays anymore but I have a wonderful husband and family and been everywhere I want to go.
My question is could they have got it wrong? How long before I detoriate? Is anyone else at this early stage of confusion. Or am I living in cloud cuckoo land?
Also my hair is thinning yet I am not having treatment. Worry I suppose!
