If you were exposed to asbestos in the past and think you may be suffering from mesothelioma today, the worry alone can be overwhelming. Mesothelioma is difficult to diagnose and may only appear decades after asbestos exposure. If you think you are experiencing symptoms of mesothelioma, follow these steps immediately.
Speak With Your DoctorThe first thing you should do if you think you have mesothelioma is to discuss your concerns with your doctor or a mesothelioma specialist. The sooner you are able to diagnose mesothelioma, the better chance you have at prolonging your life and mitigating the painful symptoms that may arise.
If you are unsure how to approach your doctor, visit our Questions for the Doctor page. We also have the resources to help point you to a mesothelioma treatment center near you.
Be Mindful of Your HealthWhile you are waiting to see a doctor or waiting on any test results, be sure to stay mindful of your health. If you start to experience any severe pain, take immediate steps to find medical care.
If you are worried about developing mesothelioma in the future, consider quitting smoking and embracing healthier eating habits. Unhealthy habits may increase your risk of developing mesothelioma or other forms of cancer.
Establish a Treatment PlanThere are options available if you want to lessen the symptoms associated with mesothelioma. It can be difficult, however, to find experienced medical providers who know how to craft the best possible treatment plan for mesothelioma. Patients who pursue treatment options like chemotherapy often find that they help them feel better over time.
Consult With an AttorneyIf you are now experiencing symptoms of mesothelioma and have worked in an occupation that exposed you to asbestos in the past, you should consult with an experienced mesothelioma lawyer to discuss your options. Many companies knew about the dangers of asbestos but neglected to take measures to protect their employees’ health when working with the substance. Through aggressive litigation, our firm seeks compensation from those responsible for your illness, helping you to receive the quality care you deserve.
Seek Emotional and Psychological SupportJust the thought that you may have mesothelioma can be emotionally devastating to you and your family. The fear of developing mesothelioma or living with the disease can significantly alter your quality of life. However, you are not in this alone. Seeking emotional support can help you cope during this difficult process, while your doctor and attorney help you through the rest.
