Mesothelioma, a form of cancer, develops in the cells in the protective lining around the organs, and the most common site of the disease is in the lungs.<\/p>\n<p>Many Mesothelioma sufferers have developed the deadly condition through exposure to asbestos which was widely used in our country, and many people who worked with asbestos may have been exposed to it.<\/p>\n<p>It has been said that asbestos kills more people than road traffic accidents &#8211; so it&#8217;s important to know your rights.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nMesothelioma often takes years (in fact, decades) to develop \u2013 so you may have been exposed to it and you may have no idea until you start to develop the symptoms later on in life. Recognised and common symptoms that can initially occur are:<\/p>\n<div class=\"well\">\n<ul>\n<li>Shortness of breath<\/li>\n<li>Coughing and wheezing \u2013 including coughing blood<\/li>\n<li>Chest pain and \/ or abdominal pain<\/li>\n<li>Fatigue and weight loss<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>The accepted facts about asbestos are that it is practically harmless until disturbed. Many old buildings in the UK still contain asbestos which is why <strong>it\u2019s important for employees removing it to be wearing full protective gear<\/strong>. But before the dangers of asbestos were understood, many people worked with it and may have been exposed to it. Inhaling the fibres and dust from disturbed asbestos is the <strong>cause of cancers like Mesothelioma<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>So, whilst the use of asbestos was rightfully banned in the 90\u2019s, people are continuously developing Mesothelioma through exposure many decades ago. The extent of those affected is difficult to comprehend given that the symptoms can take more than 40 years to show.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately the prognosis for recovery from Mesothelioma and asbestos related illness is significantly poor. There are many traditional treatment options available like radiation therapy, surgery, and chemotherapy; but in a large majority of cases it is simply a matter of time and very little can be done.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h3\">Your legal rights<\/h2>\n<p>There are a lot of law firms out there who advertise helping people claim compensation for Mesothelioma and asbestos related illnesses.
