Being diagnosed with mesothelioma is stressful and scary. After the shock wears off, it is important to find support and answers to help you cope with it all. Time is sensitive when dealing with mesothelioma, so being prompt can make a huge difference.
Having questions prepared before you see your doctor will make sure that you gain all of the knowledge you can. Some questions you can start with are:
- What type of mesothelioma do I have?
- What stage has my cancer reached?
- What treatment options are available to me? Which do you recommend?
- What are the next steps I should take?
Take someone with you to your doctor’s appointments, too. They can act as an advocate for your rights and help you address the questions that are most important.
A good lawyer will help you make sure that you have the right legal documents available for your negligent exposure to asbestos trial. These documents include:
- Living Will
- Last Will and Testament
- Durable Power of Attorney
- Advance Medical Directive
- Do-Not-Resuscitate Order
