Mesothelioma

I am 66 and after a number of tests which included a PET scan, I have recently been diagnosed with Mesothelioma. My Consultant believes the best way forward is for me to now undertake a mix of both surgery and chemotherapy. I would be interested to hear from any other members who suffer from this disease, whether they have undertaken a similar dual treatment program and what effect it had on them. Many thanks.
