    Im so sorry to hear this sweetie. My dad had hodgkin's lymphoma when I was in my final year of high school. He has been in full remission for years now.
    I know it's very scary but there are excellent treatments out there.

    I hope the prognosis is a good one.

    Oh G-d, I'm so sorry. Pleural mesothelioma does not come with a good prognosis at all. I hope his is better than most, but try to prepare yourself for the worst. We're all here for you.

    I'm so sorry. I've had family members deal with this so I understand.

    I'm sure you arent thinking of this right now...but I'd contact a lawyer. There is quite a class action lawsuit about exactly this right now and if nothing else...he should have his medical bills(which may be formidable) paid for.

    ^^ Yeah, he is planning to sue the company he was employed with for 25 years. He is on disability now because he has had two heart attacks previously.
