Mesothelioma

Cancer. It is such an ugly word, and an even uglier disease. In my family, there has been many cancers, and I worry what my future holds. I am almost convinced that at some point I will get breast cancer, and the scare I had last year hit me hard. I was lucky that it was just a scare, and hopefully the resulting surgery reduced my future risk just a little.

I hate reading about people who get a cancer that could have been prevented. Take Mesothelioma. This is the lung cancer that is caused by asbestos. I knew that construction workers were at a high risk of being exposed to asbestos, because they work in older homes and building sometimes. What I didn't know was that auto mechanics are also on the list of workers most exposed to it. That is kind of scary to me, because Junior has worked as a mechanic, and that is also what Ryan wants to do when he gets older.

They are now saying that the makers of asbestos knew the risk it posed, but waited to tell the public. This means that many people who developed this cancer shouldn't have. If you are one of those people, you should talk to a Mesothelioma Lawyer. They can help you get compensation for your suffering. I hope this is the one cancer no one in my family has to face.
