The American Cancer Society has created a list of suggested questions for those with mesothelioma to ask their doctor. The questions include: What type of mesothelioma do I have? What is the stage of my mesothelioma (i.e., how advanced is it)? Has the mesothelioma spread beyond its original site? What treatment options do I have? Which of these options do you recommend, and why? What is my prognosis? What risks or side effects are there to the treatments you suggest? What are the chances that my cancer will recur with these mesothelioma treatment plans? What should I do to be ready for mesothelioma treatment?
