Mesothelioma: What is that?!?

With the new technology today, we can skip much of the advertisements on our television by forwarding to our favorite recorded show. But sometimes I had to get up to use the restroom or put my laundry in the dryer or other mundane tasks that conveniently interrupts my "relaxing" time. So I leave the advertisements on to give me enough time to do my chores and come back in time for the show. But if you've noticed, as we get up to leave the room, the TV would start to "talk" loud blasting your ears with some illness called mesothelioma & how you should call a lawyer to get justice or something like that. But anyways, for months now, I thought about searching what mesothelioma is all about, but kept forgetting about it until tonight, when my TV mysteriously upped its volume again, like it was following me wherever I went in the house, to tell me about Geico and mesothelioma. There it was again. So I thought I'd better search what that is. Oh, I know what Geico is ... but not mesothelioma.

So I read--and in simplistic form (because I'm not really a medical savvy person), I learned that people who are around asbestos dust much more frequently are more vulnerable to be inflicted with mesothelioma. They are usually susceptible and has the highest number of sufferers of this deadly disease. The sickness produce bad cells in the mesothelium (oh, I had to search that one too--it's the interior membranes that covers your organs inside your body). What mesothelioma does is to attack the inside covering of your chest wall and lungs.

People who lives nearby or who have family members that work around asbestos-associated industries are also in danger of getting impacted by the illness, much like being around a cigarette smoker subjecting non-smokers to second-hand smoking. Furthermore, smokers that have access to asbestos via their occupations or their family members' occupations have the higher risk of obtaining mesothelioma.

Unfortunately, people with mesothelioma won't have symptoms of the illness until it is too late to cure them. The common symptoms may include chest pains, difficulties breathing, and weight loss. Others may display different symptoms depending on their situation. So wow, now I feel a little smarter. Hope this helps you somewhat too.
