Mesothelioma is a scary word, and for a good reason: Mesothelioma is a scary disease.
Mesothelioma is a rare cancer that affects the lining of your internal organs, mostly the lungs but also on the heart or other organs. It's almost always caused by exposure to asbestos, generally from people who have been exposed directly to asbestos on the job site, or indirectly to asbestos from being around someone who works on a job site (some people think that just washing clothes with asbestos dust on them can be enough exposure to put someone at risk.)
Mesothelioma can begin with shortness of breath or chest pain, go on to cause weight loss, and end up getting more and more serious-- fatigue, and coughing up blood are common -- and treatment doesn't do a lot. The prognosis for survival of mesothelioma is extremely poor.
Because of how it's caused, mesothelioma may affect people in the lower earning bracket, having a devastating effect on the person and their family: many sufferers may not have health insurance or life insurance and may not have much in the way of savings or retirement funds if they die.
Those economic issues make it important that anyone suffering from mesothelioma, or anyone who may have been exposed to asbestos, consult a physician and an experienced lawyer right away: the doctor can help detect any problems and attack them early on, and the lawyer can help get compensation to avoid economic ruin.
