Mesothelioma and Asbestos

I understand where you are coming from. You just want the facts not someone to try to make you feel best (as incase that is likely at this point). Although I deal with cancer everyday I really don’t know the answer to your question as well as honestly his oncologist would know the answer specifically to your grandfather best than anyone. But, I am on my way to a tumor board now as well as will consult one of the oncologist when I’m there as well as edit my answer when I return.

EDIT: According to one of my oncologists most often death is due to heart failure.

Now for the rest of your question., there is a tiny chance the recent chemo may help pull him out of this for awhile, but it is more likely this is the beginning of the end. You will know when he loses weight, sleeps more, tires easily, coloring changes, gets confused as well as he doesn’t want to eat or drink much.

You may want to look into hospice so that when you as well as your family are prepared, you possess a plan. They help the entire family not just the patient as well as they are wonderful people. I am very sorry you as well as your grandfather possess to go through this. May God bless both of you.
