Studies show that mesothelioma patients are typically diagnosed within three to six months of their first visit to a doctor with complaints about breathing problems or chest and abdominal pain.
The first step involved in diagnosis is providing a full and accurate medical history to your doctor, including details about current and past health concerns, as well as the types of symptoms you are currently experiencing. A mention of any exposure to asbestos is essential. Without revealing this fact, your doctor may not consider asbestos-related diseases in his or her diagnosis.
Next, patients will undergo a physical examination, where a doctor will examine causes for any types of symptoms being displayed. Most likely, the doctor's next step will be to recommend further testing
