- Patient Bio:
Patrick Appert
After having exposure to asbestos and being diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma, Patrick Appert and his wife travelled to Boston to meet with Dr. David Sugarbaker, a Mesothelioma Doctor who treats asbestos symptoms in 2011. He had received mesothelioma treatment surgery that year, and has continued seeing Dr. Sugarbaker, even following him when he came to Baylor College of Medicine in Houston Texas. At Baylor College of Medicine, Dr. Sugarbaker’s comprehensive lung and mesothelioma treatment centers focus on increasing patient life expectancy. Now, years later, Mr. Appert leads a very active life with his wife and family.
Symptoms:
Patients with Asbestos poisoning deal with Pleural Mesothelioma Symptoms.
Asbestos Exposure accounts for the majority of all mesothelioma cases. The asbestos build up develops in the thin tissue layer around the lungs called the pleura. Patients may suffer from a variety of asbestos symptoms. The most common asbestosis symptoms include:
Persistent coughing or wheezing
Night sweats / fever
Fatigue
Shortness of breath
Difficulty swallowing
Weight loss
Chest wall pain
Their search/story:
Patrick Appert was told he was exposed to asbestos dust. He then set out to understand the signs and symptoms of asbestos lung disease and looked around for help in his local city for an asbestos cure to treat this form of lung cancer caused by asbestos. He came to the conclusion that this form of advanced lung cancer can be treated by a few mesothelioma doctors. His primary questions were: “Is asbestos cancer curable?” “Is asbestos cancer a death sentence?”
Patrick searched for an Asbestos Doctor and found Dr. Sugarbaker, an internationally-recognized lung cancer expert, who treats asbestos disease. Dr. Sugarbaker’s primary focus is to remove as much asbestos as possible from the lung and increase his patients’ life expectancy.
Dr. Sugarbakers Profile:
Dr. Sugarbaker is one of the world’s leading experts in treating asbestos exposure and symptoms. With his years of experience and innovations in asbestos treatment, it’s no wonder Dr. Sugarbaker is the go-to guy when it comes to asbestosis treatment. Dr. Sugarbaker has developed a “three pronged approach” to treating malignant pleural mesothelioma. Dr. Sugarbaker’s three pronged approach encompasses chemotherapy, radical surgery, and radiation therapy to treat patients with asbestos poisoning.
Asbestos Treatment:
Sugarbaker’s renowned treatment for mesothelioma patients includes: asbestos removal procedures
• Extrapleural pneumonectomy - a procedure honed and nearly perfected by Dr. Sugarbaker while he led the International Mesothelioma Program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital for 25 year. Extrapleural pneumonectomy involves removing the ailing lung and areas surrounding the disease with some exception, this procedure is primarily reserved for early cancer patients whose asbestos disease affects only one pleural surface. Other necessary criteria include good health and optimal functioning of the heart and kidney are necessary.
• Pleurectomy - a procedure that removes the lung’s lining layers (the pleura) and surrounding tumors, without removing the entire lung (unlike the extra pneumonectomy procedure). Eligible patients usually have an early-stage cancer, or Stage 1, diagnosis. Likewise, the patient must be in generally good health.
• Chemotherapy - an adjuvant strategy included in Dr. Sugarbaker’s three-pronged treatment approach. After surgery patients may receive chemotherapy to kill any remaining cancer. With some success Dr. Sugarbaker has been experimenting with a more advanced chemotherapy that targets the molecular level of cancer cells.
• Radiation -an adjuvant strategy also employed after surgery. External beam variety radiation is used to kill off any remaining cancer cells post-surgery.
After Treatment:
Patrick Appert is an Asbestos lung cancer survivor. Before he sought treatment from Dr. Sugarbaker, he was told that he only had 9 to 11 months to live. Now it has been 2 years, and he still enjoys life to the fullest. His favorite activities are woodworking and building model airplanes. He is proud to be an asbestos cancer survivor.

So happy that you are OK and have beaten mesothelioma! You are an inspiration to many!
I am a survivor of mesothelioma I went to MD Anderson for treatments and removal of the last long or most of it but they got the cancer and I’m living today doing fairly well I’m 70 years old so I don’t get around all that much but I just wanted to say hello and let people know if you can that you can overcome cancer with the right treatment and the right doctors I don’t wanna So do you hang in there keep going keep positive and thank you for your video
God bless you .
You meant Lung, right?
Hii... My father is suffering from pleural mesothelioma stage 2. He went through Chemotherapy's first session. I am seeking for advise related this disease and I look forward hearing from you. 🙏
Glad that you’re doing okay, hope it continues to do okay. 😀
u are here ? u are alive?..
good luck to you. I had total right lung pneumonectomy in 1988 at age 42, no chemo no radiation and i am 77 now and retired with no recurrence. I guess I hit a home run as well
but you have mesothelioma at age 42? what stage?
Congratulations on beating it! Asbestos can be so deadly!
We wouldn't be in this mess if we knew how deadly it could be in the early days of life!
Same
I'm a 32 year old male and operate a bulldozer around asbestos material. I'm in a cab dozer but I always think about lung cancer while pushing the material.
My father worked with asbestos for many years - it's a concern of his too. But the survival rate of lung cancer is much better than pleural mesothelioma. This man is a walking miracle.
Holmesymom well how long has it been since his exposure?
You should wear a 3M respirator with P3 (anti-particles filters)
Yall can someone recommend some treatment or pulmonary exercises for asbestos?
You are a lucky guy. My uncle died from this. He worked with asbestos many years before.
hey same with mine…how old was he ?do you remember
RIP :(
I just got the house and removed all the carpet ok the bedrooms..now I went to bathroom and trying to removed the vinyl..I just found out that has asbestos underneath...I noticed that all the flooring has sign of something they removed some old floors there..Iif asbestos get removed while i took off the carpet..asbestos still there..now I'm so worried...
so what happened?
I din't wear any protective breathing and got exposed to asbestos because of clearing whats left from burned stable that had asbestos based slating roof yesterday for a three hours most of the time being outside ( there were coin size peaces of slating all over the place that I swept).
What should I do to prevent future lung illness from developing? I am not construction worker so I don't get exposed to asbestos dust consistently. Also I will have to cut grass around the building in the future. There were many coin size peaces of slating /shist after the fire around the burned building, I swept them. I picked them from the grass as much as I could see, some were smaller than coin size. Is it safe to cut the grass with mower now there without breathing , eye protection? Or should I wear breathing protection, eye protection and what kind?
No exposure to it is good, go to the doctor now.
How are you doing now?
@@powerofgod2232 I am ok. Didn't cut grass though.
How have you been so far ? I got exposed to asbestos while taking out some dry wall that had fell from my ceiling
I am good so far :D@@Mo-it2zq
I was recently exposed to asbestos for 2 and a half hours while replacing ceiling tiles. Am I at serious risk?
You’re good. As long you don’t do it for 10 years
@@SergioGurrola how do you know he is good?
dont listen to Sergio - definitely ask your doctor when can you check for early signs because early signs wont show you anything you basically live with it until you have shortness of breath/tight chest dry cough and other symptoms because they cant diagnose it until its far enough into the cycle but also cant do stuff if its too late
i was exposed for 2 weeks without mask and i have massive atelectasis by asbestos im 25 y old
There is a to contact your doctor I think I have it and I just want to live 10 more years or some good news for treatments for it I'm 32
Dulio Duchenko Dr. David Sugarbaker please read the description. Good luck and if it makes you feel better, like I always say eventually we are all going to die if you leave this Earth knowing you did something good for someone somewhere well you have gained a spot with the Lord in heaven. Believe me there's a heaven. I hope you live to be 70 great age, before shit hangs on the body. 😁😉 lol 🙄
I got it renovating a basement, very bad dry cough, like a steelbrush in my lunges,
even hurt in my heart, was dying for a few days, fortunately i know how to detox it, im well now, you can pee it out, in a glas, glitters with a flashlight.
research
kidneyfiltration, alternate between alkaline diet and dryfasting.

@@dysgenicsubhuman3178 are you for real, did you get it diagnosed
@@dysgenicsubhuman3178 did you inhale and develop it
That is heart breaking news man my prayers go out to you and that you find Jesus so that you have a hope beyond the grave
My husband is dying he has cancer caused by asbestos
They’ve given my husband 6 months
Get your husband on Keto and Intermittent Fasting. Also check out Dr.Berg's youtube videos on beating cancer. I would actually contact him of I were you
Did your husband make it? What did he do to get asbestos?
what age is you husband…
