  • To me, not knowing is worse than knowing.

  • Thank you for the excellent video. After 12 years of exposure, I have fibrosis and the plural plaque. Begnin (thankfully) mesothelioma. I'm on o2 therapy that seems to escalate every 6 - 8 months. My o2 sats are 79 - 83 with out o2. One of my biggest issues is the pain. It also seems to escalate. Is there anything new in pain management these days? I hate being knocked out by pain meds. Is asbestosis always degenerative? No one will tell me anything about the stages.

  • Thanks for  a very clear explanation from an asbestosis sufferer.
