So I got diagnosed stage 2 pleural back in december and now I'm trying to figure out where to actually get treated. There's a couple hospitals around here that say they do mesothelioma cases but I don't know if they're any good or if I should travel somewhere else. I'm 68 and retired so I can handle getting around but don't wanna waste time going somewhere that doesn't know what they're doing.
Anybody else had to make this choice? What did you look for? I'm thinking I need a place that does a lot of these cases, not just one or two a year. My doc here seems competent enough but I want to know if there's specialists out there who are gonna give me better odds.
Also wondering if certain places are better for my type - pleural, stage 2. I worked HVAC for 25 years so I know when something's not right, and something about just going to my regular hospital doesn't feel right either.
Any advice appreciated.
