What are my options as a person who has been diagnosed with mesothelioma?
Though mesothelioma is not curable, you can opt for treatments that will help control the uncomfortable symptoms of the disease. They include surgical procedures that will remove fluid from the pleura, pericardium, or peritoneum, as well as radiation and chemotherapy. Alternative treatments, such as massage, acupuncture, meditation, and herbal supplements, are also available to address symptoms of the disease and the side effects of some of the treatments.
