Living in fear of mesothelioma first
of all, you may be wondering what " mesothelioma " is and should be
afraid?...Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is the medical term for lung cancer and is usually caused by exposure to asbestos.The symptoms do not appear until 50 years after exposure to asbestos, and who have not had any contact with asbestos for many years, now show signs of having the deadly disease.The symptoms are usually shortness of breath, cough, and chest pain and feel very tired.
Should be afraid ?
As a little boy, I used to live near a factory that used asbestos to make firewall products and other types of insulation for the construction industry.I believe that asbestos was also used in the manufacture of coatings.I remember seeing the asbestos dust which threw the plant covering the surrounding area (including the part of playground) with this deadly snow as in powder.Of course, since we were only children at the time, this powder had absolutely no idea how deadly.We even played in fully aware of their hazards.
The horror came thereafter
Is that years later once the factory was closed, that we begin to see the horrors of this white powder snow, who had played with the children.At that time, it was much higher, and the dangers of asbestos has given coverage by the media of mass communication, so now, I was aware of what could happen to me and hundreds of other people who lived in the same area as this plant in the coming years.

TV documentary
This plant cover has received in a program and television, interviewed the families who have suffered because of the asbestos problem.I was surprised to see that he knew some of those who lost members of the family due to develop mesothelioma, actually went to school with some of the people who participated in the program.The program showed the oldest images in the vicinity of the plant (including my old school) covered with dust and really seemed it had snowed.See all on TV really there only a little concerned, especially when you have been in contact with asbestos as i.
Treatments
If mesothelioma is diagnosed early enough,. healing is possible through a combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.However, in the case of more advanced disease, treatment is not possible, but with treatments of disease can be significantly decreased and medications can be used to relieve any pain.
X-ray
as warning had x-rays a few years ago to put my mind at rest, and fortunately, they were all aware.The doctor recommended that it should be x-rays regularly to be on the safe side.So, for the moment, everything is fine, but I am still a little concerned about what might happen in the future.
