Mesothelioma
This is what my father's diagnosis is: mesothelioma. It's a type of lung cancer caused very specifically from exposure to asbestos. This was from exposure during a job he had over 40 years ago - cutting ceiling tiles. Maybe it's been sitting, encapsulated, in his lungs for years. I've no idea what his prognosis is - whether they've caught it early or late, what the treatment options for him are or if there are any at this stage in his life. Of course, everyone in my family, including my brother, has known since Wednesday. I'm not surprised.
And this is all I know for now... until more information is rationed out to me.
