A list of excellent doctors that can help your asbestos-related lung cancer

When diagnosed with asbestos-related lung cancer, an excellent way to begin your fight is to seek out a doctor who specializes in your disease. For example, after choral music instructor Milo Pietz was told that he had a spot on his lung, he began searching for a specialist.

"My son talked to one of his colleagues who highly recommended Dr. Mark Allen, a thoracic surgeon at Mayo Clinic…I also talked to friends who encouraged me to go to Mayo, so I made an appointment to meet Dr. Allen,” said Milo. “I had full trust in Dr. Allen…This is what he does — he performs many similar surgeries every week. And he came so highly recommended. I was very comfortable and had faith in him."

With the help of his doctor, Milo was able to make a full recovery. Milo came to his doctor first with a cough, and he was treated for pneumonia. It was not until he returned to the doctor stating that the cough was not going away that they started to suspect it may be cancer. Not all doctors are experts in all fields of medicine, and even though you may have a long relationship to your primary care physician, even he or she may recommend that you seek a specialist in cases such as lung cancer.
