People who have already been diagnosed with mesothelioma need to ensure that they understand their treatment options and to attend all follow-up appointments. In particular, if any side effects of treatment are experienced, these need to be identified so that the doctor/specialist can try to possibly minimise these.
Any worsening of symptoms or experience of new symptoms must be reported to the doctor/specialist as this could signify worsening of the condition and there may be need to adjust treatment.
