Just met with oncology, here’s hope amidst the diagnosis. I have a rare cancer, mesothelioma. It has been determined to be treatable, meaning battling this terminal, incurable, aggressive disease from now on, It has a 40-50 year latency, so shows up quietly at first in your later years . All caused by asbestos from earlier years, it is incurable, but I’m to start immunotherapy soon to keep it in check. If this is your experience, be advised not to despair, there is hope for quality and quantity of life!

Facing an incurable diagnosis is hard, many of us are fortunate enough to go on living a full life for many years. It seems you have a good outlook, and are looking forward, which is so important. Hopefully your family and support system sees that too. You are in good hands, and doing everything that you can right now. Wishing you the best with the treatment, keep us posted, Lisa
