Just be frank with your doctor and ask her.  Many doctors may never see Mesothelioma because only 3000 – 4000 new cases of the disease occur each year.  Of course the doctors that service an area in which the industry exposes the public to asbestos will see more mesothelioma cases and therefore have greater familiarity with the cancer.  Sometimes the larger medical care centers will also have doctors who have seen more cases of mesothelioma.

You simply have to ask.  Reputable doctors will not take offense and instead empathize with your concern.  Find a new doctor if she does become defensive.

Ask our Dr. Gill at the research foundation.  He will gladly give impartial, professional advice and make a referral.
