Why Is a Mesothelioma Specialist Important?
Mesothelioma survivor, Tamron Little, shares why working with a mesothelioma specialist is so important.
[MUSIC PLAYING] A specialist is important when you have a diagnosis of mesothelioma because mesothelioma is rare. And peritoneal mesothelioma is even rarer. So having a specialist, they know about it. They have been researching it for years, and years, and years. And they know what treatments and the things that will be best for your journey, whether it's chemotherapy, whether it's the HIPEC surgery, which is the search that I had, or whether it's something like the immunotherapy, or things like that. If you go to a regular oncologist that doesn't know a lot about mesothelioma, then they will not know the best way to treat you. So it's best to go to a specialist that specializes preferably in mesothelioma. [MUSIC PLAYING]
