“Is There a Mesothelioma Cure or is it always a death sentence?”
Many people want to know how I survived, so I wrote down what I did in my book “Surviving Mesothelioma.” I know how frightening this diagnosis is so I want you to offer you a free copy.
Just fill in the information below and I will express ship a copy right to your door because I want you to survive mesothelioma just like I did…
What The Doctors Aren’t Telling You
There Is Only 1 Standard Chemotherapy Treatment
There is only one standard chemotherapy treatment for mesothelioma – two drugs used together. One drug is called Alimta and the other is cisplatin.
In the clinical trial that got these two drugs FDA approved, the median survival was only about 12 and a half months. This means that this standard mesothelioma treatment is definitely not a mesothelioma cure.
Whether you go to a hospital in California or New York or Michigan or Florida or anywhere in the USA, you will probably be offered these same two drugs. Unfortunately, it’s one size fits all.
The Peritoneal Combination for Success
For peritoneal mesothelioma, HIPEC is not a mesothelioma cure, but it is the treatment with the best record of success. It involves a combination of chemo and surgery.
During the surgery, a bath of heated chemotherapy is placed inside the patient and then washed out. This is designed to kill any remaining cancer cells.
If you have peritoneal mesothelioma and your doctor isn’t telling you about HIPEC, you should ask. So picking the right mesothelioma treatment and doctor is very important.
Some Surgeries Could Kill You
Another thing hopefully you will be told is that surgery is the best conventional chance at a mesothelioma cure, but some surgeries are more dangerous than others.
For example, one surgery used for pleural mesothelioma is called EPP (Extrapleural pneumonectomy). The survival rate (from the surgery itself) depends on the experience of your surgeon and his or her team. Some people even die from this surgery!
There is another less risky surgery that is less invasive called lung sparring surgery (Pleurectomy/decortication). The results for both mesothelioma treatments are about the same. This is information you need to know.
Clinical Trials May Be Your Best Hope
Your doctor may also not tell you that some of the latest treatments are being tested in clinical trials and may be your best hope for a mesothelioma cure.
For example, many hospitals are testing a special antibody used in cancer immunotherapy. It is called Keytruda.
Doctors are testing it alone and in combination with other mesothelioma treatments. So far, the results have been excellent in some patients.
Some Survivors Have Their Own “Cure”
Most doctors will not tell you that some long-term mesothelioma survivors have apparently discovered their own mesothelioma cure because they have survived so long.
12 Years of Treatment Options
We even have some information on what treatments long-term survivors used when they used non FDA approved approaches.
For example, the longest mesothelioma survivor in the world is Paul Kraus. In his book “Surviving Mesothelioma and Other Cancers: A Patient’s Guide” he details the mesothelioma treatments he used.
