A Mesothelioma Lawyer Can Help You Receive Compensation

Mesothelioma is a rare but dangerous type of cancer that develops from the mesothelium – a thin layer of tissue that covers many of your internal organs. Doctors often treat the condition with chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation. While these treatments can cease the growth of tumors, researchers have yet to find a cure for the disease.

Unlike many other forms of cancer, there is only one known cause of mesothelioma: exposure to asbestos. The disease progresses as follows:

• A person inhales or swallows asbestos fibers
• The fibers become lodged in the linings of the lungs, heart, or abdomen
• Over time, the fibers cause inflammation in the mesothelium
• Eventually, tumors form on the damaged mesothelium

The symptoms of mesothelioma vary depending on where the cancer is located. However, in the early stages, patients often experience dry coughing, wheezing, chest pain, abdominal pain, and shortness of breath. In the later stages, patients may experience increased pain, difficulty breathing, difficulty swallowing, and loss of appetite.

Naturally, after a mesothelioma diagnosis, you’d want to focus on your health. While that’s certainly a top priority, you should also consider contacting a mesothelioma attorney right away – we understand how serious mesothelioma is and are here for you in your time of need.
