@davidsmith76 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect!
Here is an article from Mayo Clinic about mesothelioma, and several risk factors are listed. Do you feel you are exhibiting any of these? Have you sought out the advice of your primary care doctor, yet?

Also, here is a comment by fellow mentor @merpreb in the lung cancer support group discussion about mesothelioma and the different types:

I will be interested what you find out.

I just joined Mayo Clinic Connect and thought maybe you can direct me to where I can read about someone else with my problem, it is hard to believe it, but most of the people on here suffer from so many multiple aliments, that mine is "NOTHING" compared to that, but still for 17 years I have been gradually getting worse, and NONE of the Drs around here "The Villages" in Lady Lake, Fla. know! Anyway I am a 69 year old male and have had every single diagnostic test to no avail.....I feel like a teenager and have NO aliments like Diabetes, Thyroid problems, High Blood Pressure, etc. There is NO Pain involved but my legs are "DEAD" and I drag myself around with a cane to hold me up. It must be a meager thing! At 69, I am also as sharp as a tack.Will Mayo know? Thanks..James S. London

My doctor told me that a man of my age(76) should not have any concerns about mesothelioma
