Choosing your doctor

In order to make an informed decision when choosing your doctor, consider the following questions:
  • Does the doctor have the education and training necessary to meet my needs, and does he or she have experience in treating mesothelioma?
  • How many cases of mesothelioma has he or she treated in the past year? In their career?
  • Has the doctor given you information on mesothelioma itself, and on the various treatment options you might be eligible for?
  • Does the doctor listen to your concerns and treat you with respect?
  • Does the doctor encourage you to ask questions and explain things in terms that you understand?
