a relative of mines moved to Lanzarote almost 3 years ago. He has recently been diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma, a quite rare type of cancer. He now wishes to come home, but almost no airlines will allow him on the flight with oxygen. Does anyone know of anywhere that can help? From a charity to a major airline, he will do anything to get home, as the average time for survival of this type of cancer is 9 months. He has had this for 8 months, so there is a certain sense of urgency about this.

Please help. Thanks
Firstly, the flight is not to the US, as it says in those big bold letters up top. secondly, I chose to put the question to the community as most people are quite resourceful and helpful, unlike you who is being very unhelpful and unfriendly. If you dont like the question, or think its silly or whatever do not answer it.

my husband has lung cancer and will not stop smoking , blames everything and everyone else for his illness especially me. How can I deal with this better.
PS he is on oxygen 24/7

My mom has terminal lung cancer and is on 24 hr oxygen. It gets difficult at times when I remember how she used to travel and was always on the go. Now there’s nothing that she can do without getting short of breath. I’m sad all of the time. I don’t know how I can function as well as I do at work. I just go through the motions.
My dad has liver cancer and his chemo seems to be working pretty well. Is there some type of support group for people in my situation? I would like to hear from anyone that’s experiencing or has experienced this situation,or anyone that can make me feel better. I’m in my fourties and so is my sister. My sister stays with Mom while I’m at work and I take over from there.
There’s a nurse that comes at Noon on Saturdays and stays there until Noon Sunday. That helps quite a bit.We are devastated.

I have been lucky, and have not had to deal with the nastiness of cancer. My grandpa has Mesothelioma, the cancer from asbestos. He has been in Stage 4 for the past 3 years and has defied all of the odds. They originally only gave him a couple months to a year to live, but Chemo has worked wonders. He just had a scan and the results showed it has increased in size significantly, so the last round of Chemo didn’t work. This has caused his ability to breathe to decrease, and the changed his Chemo. He had his treatment with the new stuff on Friday, and they rushed him to the hospital today because of his inability to breathe.

My question is are these signs of the beginning of the end? I know this form of cancer will eventually suffocate him, and he does have a living will, so oxygen is the only form of assistance he will receive. How long will oxygen help? I am very saddened by all of this and would hate to see him suffer for long like this. He is a good man and doesn’t deserve to die like this. Do your organs shut down due to lack of oxygen? Anyone with experience with Mesothelioma or that knows about this and can give me some insight, I’d appreciate any details no matter how graphic. I just want to know what to expect.
Don’t go into all of the herbs and stuff you can take to beat cancer. We know he is dying and cannot beat this. I really appreciate the thought though.
I know they cannot tell us when he will die, but I feel so helpless. Thanks for the link, but I have read everything out there about this and really was hoping to find someone who knows about this type of cancer first hand.
