It can be found in different areas of the body such as the lungs, heart, abdomen, and testes. It is most common in men due to occupational reasons.

• Pericardial mesothelioma which is found in the heart
• Peritoneal mesothelioma which is found in the abdomen
• Testicular mesothelioma which is found in the testes

Symptoms of Mesothelioma

Some symptoms include a dry cough, shortness of breath, tightness in the chest which ultimately leads to irreversible damage. Once testing is done, your medical provider will advise you of the best course of action.

Your provider can help you to understand the side effects of each treatment option. Ask questions or take someone with you that can ask the important questions you need answers to.
