4. Eat low dairy foods, lean meat and fish which is a passport to good health. Try to eat chicken without the skin and avoid high sugar pastries and sweetmeats.

CASH ADVANCE & PAY DAY LOANS AT FINGER TIPS
1. I am into social work and thus at times require an urgent cash requirement for the help of needy and sufferer. Its not that I have to pay from my pocket but it takes time to get the bills passed from the non governmental organization which is funded by the government for the welfare of the people suffering from cancer including mesothelioma.
2. It was a rainy day and I was near a patient who required additional funds for getting his cancer operated. Though he was to be reimbursed by the medical insurance company but the deal was for the later payment on production of bills. I decided to help him out but I fell short by approximately $1400. However the cash advance in form of pay day loans had always helped me in my dire emergency financial needs.
3. I, immediately applied for the payday loans for $1500 from this online site which pays up to $1500 without credit check for a period ranging from 04-30 days. I got the amount electronically transferred in my account overnight. I get the loan easily as I satisfy their term and conditions of having a checking amount for past 3 months, coupled with earning for past 3 months and of course earning more than $1000 per month.
4. I paid the loan with my next pay check and felt that timely providence of money by the site enabled me to save a life.

Oklahoma woman claims mesothelioma in asbestos filing
An Oklahoma woman who suffers from mesothelioma filed an asbestos suit against 84 defendant corporations in Madison County Circuit Court May 10, alleging she was exposed to airborne asbestos fibers from her father's and husband's clothing.
Lisa Rawlings claims her husband, Luke, was employed as a welder at various locations across the country including McCombe, Ill.
Her father, Harold Winton, worked as a mechanic.
"Dust created by working with and around asbestos and asbestos-containing products would permeate the person and clothing of the plaintiff's family members," the complaint states. "This dust contained asbestos fiber."
Rawlings claims her father and husband would carry the asbestos dust on their clothing home with him where it would again become airborne.
"The plaintiff would be repeatedly exposed to this asbestos dust from her family members' person and clothing," the complaint states.
Rawlings was employed as a postal worker and teacher at various locations including Illinois.
She claims she was also exposed to asbestos during non-occupational work projects including home and automotive repairs, maintenance and remodeling.
Rawlings was diagnosed with mesothelioma on Feb. 21, and subsequently became aware that her illness was wrongfully caused, the suit claims.
The complaint alleges that defendants failed to require and advise their employees of hygiene practices designed to reduce or prevent carrying asbestos fibers home.
As a result of the alleged negligence, Rawlings claims she was exposed to fibers containing asbestos, and developed a disease caused only by asbestos which has disabled and disfigured her.
She also claims that she has sought, but has been unable to obtain, full disclosure of relevant documents and information from the defendants leading her to believe the defendants destroyed documents related to asbestos.
"It was foreseeable to a reasonable person/entity in the respective positions of defendants, that said documents and information constituted evidence, which was material to potential civil litigation-namely asbestos litigation," the complaint states.
Rawlings claims that as a result of each defendant breaching its duty to preserve material evidence by destroying documents and information she has been prejudiced and impaired in proving claims against all potential parties.
"Plaintiff has been caused to suffer damages in the form of impaired ability to recover against defendants and lost or reduced compensation from other potentially liable parties in this litigation," the complaint states.
Represented by Nicholas Angelides, John Barnerd, Perry Browder, Tim Thompson and Richard Saville of SimmonsCooper in East Alton, Rawlings is seeking compensatory damages in excess of $300,000, plus punitive damages.
"An award of punitive damages is appropriate and necessary in order to punish defendants for their willful, wanton, intentional and/or reckless misconduct and to deter defendants and others from engaging in like misconduct in the future," the complaint states.
The case has been assigned to Circuit Judge Dan Stack.

MESOTHELIOMA SYMPTOMS UPDATE
Early symptoms of mesothelioma are generally non-specific, and may lead to a delay in diagnosis, sometimes resembling viral pneumonia.
Asbestos disease or mesothelioma has been documented as the result of even minimal exposure, affecting family members of workers who came into contact with asbestos and brought it home on their clothing, skin or hair.
Less common symptoms of mesothelioma include fever, night sweats and weightloss, pain or swelling in the abdomen due to a build-up of fluid, nausea,weight loss, bowel obstruction, and anemia.
One of the most common symptoms of mesothelioma is a pleural effusion, oran accumulation of fluid around the chest wall, diaphragm and lungs.
Symptoms include shortness of breath, pain ranging from mild to stabbing,and dry cough.
Doctors may recommend chest tube drainage and chemical pleurodesis.

New statistics unveiled by the Health and Safety Executive show an increase in the number of people who have died from mesothelioma
- The figures released this week show more than 2,000 North East people died from the disease from 1985 to 2004. The figure is increased from 1701 deaths from 1981 to 2000.
- Additionally the statistics from the Mesothelioma Register show more women than ever are affected by the disease, with 251 deaths during the period compared to 216.
- Ian McFall, head of asbestos policy at Thompsons Solicitors, said: "These figures once again highlight the devastation asbestos has inflicted on people in the North East. Many of those affected worked in shipyards, factories or building sites and were given no protection or warning about the risks of asbestos exposure despite their employers being fully aware of the dangers.
- "Although shocking, these figures come as no surprise given the widespread use of asbestos in the past. Sadly, the number of people who will die from this disease will continue to rise until 2020."

IMPORTANT DECISION IN MESOTHELIOMA CASE AGAINST FORD COMPANY
1.On March 5, 2007, New York County Supreme Court Justice Karen S. Smith ruled that training manuals from Ford Co., and other companies, can be submitted at trial as admissions of Ford that its asbestos-containing brakes are hazardous and can cause cancer.
2.This ruling was handed down in case #05/115887 CARLOS CEPEDA v. AC&S, INC., et al., filed at the Supreme Court in New York County, a case involving some complex asbestos litigation filed in New York City by the mesothelioma lawyers of Levy Phillips & Konigsberg, LLP.
3.The Ford training manuals' references to the asbestos hazards contradict Ford's litigation position that asbestos-containing brakes are safe. Before the ruling was issued, Ford argued the its training manuals should not be admitted into evidence at trial because the warnings, with regard to the dangers of asbestoses containing brakes and asbestos-containing brake parts, were involuntarily included solely to meet the requirements of the Occupation Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA").
4.Justice Smith rejected this argument in light of the fact that Ford disseminated its training materials to the public at large, whereas the OSHA requirements were only applicable to the employer-employee setting.
5.Furthermore, Justice Smith observed that the warnings contained in Ford's training manuals, in many respects, exceeded the relevant OSHA requirements. Justice Smith also noted that no where in Ford's training materials does it state that its warning about asbestos-containing brake parts have been given solely for the purposes of complying with government regulations. The training materials, at issue, are part of Ford's nationwide training program for independent Ford dealership employees, vocational instructors, and automotive students. Ford offers its training materials to these groups as well as the public at large through the sale of publications, videos, and web-based training. In these materials, whenever Ford addresses asbestos in brakes, it warns of the asbestos hazards to health and often warns that asbestos from brakes can cause diseases including cancer.

MESOTHELIOMA SUFFERER STORY FROM HORSES MOUTH:MESOTHELIOMA-ASBESTOS-LAWYER-CLAIMS.BLOGSPOT.COM
'We had no masks, no gloves, no nothing...'
'I began work in the shipyards in 1955 as an apprentice engineer at the age of 17,' says Peter McIntyre, a 69-year-old with mesothelioma cancer. 'I was fitting the engines into ships and the laggers were working over us and stuff would come down like snowflakes. At the end of the day, my overalls were absolutely white.' Tragically, the 'stuff ' was the deadly dust asbestos and McIntyre recalls workers, unaware of the dangers, throwing it around as though it were 'snowballs': 'We had no masks, no gloves, no nothing.'
McIntyre was diagnosed with mesothelioma in January 2006, 47 years after he left the dockyards in Scotland and moved to Kendal, Cumbria. Unlike other sufferers who were exposed to asbestos in English shipyards, Peter is entitled to free chemotherapy drugs.
'When I was first diagnosed, Morecambe Bay Primary Care Trust wouldn't fund the treatment,' he says. 'They were prepared to let me pay for it and the costs could have been £50,000.' However he was advised that, because he had been exposed to asbestos in Scotland, he qualified for publicly funded treatment there.
He describes the chemotherapy as 'six months of absolute torture'. 'I wanted to give up many times and it was my family who kept me going. But if I hadn't had the treatment I wouldn't be here now.'
McIntyre is also able to pursue his claim for compensation through the Scottish courts. On his death, his wife Margaret would be able to claim up to £30,000, his two children - in their 40s - would also be able to claim up to £15,000 each, and his five grandchildren potentially have a claim. If he had work ed in a shipyard in England, only his wife would have been able to claim - and then only £10,000. 'Somebody getting mesothelioma in England is the same as somebody getting it in Scotland, what's the difference? Why can't we all get what's due?'
DRUG THREAT FACES VICTIMS OF MESOTHELIOMA
1.Families who are fighting for compensation over work-related cancers now fear withdrawal of NHS funding for a new treatment.
2.Former workers suffering from asbestos-related cancer are facing medical bills of £24,000 and the prospect of having to remortgage their homes, pending a final decision by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (Nice) to withdraw approval from the only drug licensed to help sufferers.
3.Every year about 2,000 people die of mesothelioma, a cancer of the lining of the lung that arises from exposure to asbestos, which is nearly always terminal. The numbers are expected to peak between 2011 and 2015.
4.Nice denied approval for the life-extending chemotherapy drug Alimta in June last year, subject to consultation which closed last month. Final guidance is due for publication in September. The uncertainty over NHS funding for chemotherapy treatment (which is still available in parts of the country, including Manchester, Liverpool and certain London boroughs) comes at a time when campaigners are increasingly concerned about the financial security of families blighted by the disease, despite new government proposals for fast-tracking financial support for those diagnosed with the devastating illness.

5.'No amount of money will ever make up for the suffering and loss to individuals and families caused by mesothelioma,' John Hutton, the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, said last month. 'But no one should have to worry that they, or their family, will have to wait years before they see a penny of compensation; especially as in many of those cases people don't have years to wait.'
6.On average, sufferers die within 12 to 18 months of diagnosis. Hutton has promised everyone should get a state benefit within six weeks of making a claim, rather than just those exposed at work, as was once the case.
7.Ministers had been forced to step in and overrule a judgment by the law lords in the case of Sylvia Barker (reported in The Observer last May), the latest in a series of attempts by insurers to evade liability by deploying technical legal arguments. Five years ago, they attempted to strike out thousands of claims from sufferers by arguing that responsibility couldn't be shared if more than one employer exposed a worker. The Lords overruled that judgment. But last summer insurers did a U-turn, successfully arguing in the Barker case that if there was more than one employer, compensation should be split between them all. As some have now gone out of business or are impossible to track down, this would have meant some families missing out on part or all of their compensation.
8.Alarmed at this prospect, ministers stepped in to protect ex-workers by amending the Compensation Bill, which was then going through parliament. The new law is now on the statute books and makes negligent employers 'jointly and severally liable', so sufferers can recover full compensation from any employer or insurer. However, the non-availability of Alimta on the NHS seriously compounds the financial problems of sufferers already anxious about challenges over modest levels of compensation paid out. The treatment is available privately at a cost of around £24,000 for the entire course, including hospital costs, although some sufferers have been quoted double that amount.
9.'People have been contacting us who have remortgaged or sold their homes to pay,' reports Chris Knighton, founder of the Mick Knighton Mesothelioma Research Fund. Her husband died of the disease in 2001, aged 60, after exposure to asbestos while serving in the Royal Navy. He died seven months after diagnosis. 'When I heard that there was a drug being licensed that would give people a better quality of life for longer, I thought it was a lifeline. There was nothing for my husband,' she says.
10.The charity is funding a study at the Northern Institute for Cancer Research to find out which patients will benefit most from Alimta. 'For a condition where there's no cure, it's so important that it's offered. It's so devastating and cruel for it to be denied,' adds Knighton.
11.Nick Thatcher, professor of oncology at the Christie Hospital NHS Trust and Wythenshawe Hospital, describes Nice's decision as 'crazy'. 'It's the only proven licensed treatment and isn't that expensive [for the NHS] - only £7,000 for the complete treatment course.'Nice insists that Alimta is not 'superior to other, far less costly treatment regimens', but Thatcher disagrees. He believes the treatment significantly increases life expectancy, alleviates pain which cannot be lessened by opiates, and helps with breathlessness. 'One in four people on Almita survive two years and more, and generally have a good quality of life,' he says. 'They wouldn't have that with other chemotherapy that's cheaper and not as effective. In terms of social justice, to not treat an industrial disease is extraordinary, especially when the cost is pretty minimal.' Alimta is widely available throughout the EU.
12.The trade union law firm Thompsons has launched a campaign to highlight the difference in the treatment of mesothelioma sufferers north and south of the border. In England and Wales, the level of bereavement compensation is fixed at £10,000 under the Fatal Accidents Act. In Scotland, payments of up to £30,000 have been made to widows by the courts, plus payments of between £10,000 and £15,000 to other family members.
NEEDS OF PATIENT MUST DRIVE THE PROCEDURE FOR MESOTHELIOMA
1.The adage Less is more does not necessarily apply when it comes to surgery for pleural mesothelioma. In fact, more extensive surgery can give some patients the best shot at increased longevity and quality of life.
2.In a 2006 article*, thoracic surgeon David J. Sugarbaker, MD, of Brigham and Women’s Hospital stated that the goal of surgery for pleural mesothelioma should always be the complete removal of all tumor tissue visible to the naked eye.
3.A complex disease, an ongoing debate“Because mesothelioma can take on many forms and involve different parts of the lung, people have been comparing apples and oranges for many years” when weighing the pros and cons of surgeries for the disease, says Sugarbaker.“We’re used to asking, ‘Do we perform a more extensive procedure or a more conservative one?’ when it comes to surgery, but that debate doesn’t apply as much to mesothelioma,” he says. “The goal should always be to remove all of the visible cancer, and then to follow the surgery with drugs that kill the cancer cells that we couldn’t see.”The fewer mesothelioma cells that remain, the fewer cells post-surgical drug therapies will be tasked with killing – which is clearly a good thing.What surgeons should strive for, Sugarbaker says, is a macroscopic complete resection (MCR).
4. A few brief definitions may help explain the issue:• Macroscopic complete resection (MCR) – The surgical removal of all tumor tissue visible to the human eye• Extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) – The surgical removal of the affected lung, the covering of the heart, and the diaphragm• Pleurectomy (P/D) – Also known as decortication, the surgical removal of tumors confined to the surface (cortex) of the lung• Pleural mesothelioma – Mesothelioma that occurs inside the chest cavity, and makes up 90% of cases of the diseaseSome tumors are limited to the surface of lung, and in those cases, MCR often can be achieved with a pleurectomy, explains Sugarbaker. But for patients with tumors that have grown down into the fissures of the lung, between the lobes, an EPP – a much more extensive procedure – may be the best choice.“Physicians familiar with the disease process of mesothelioma understand that EPPs are not interchangeable with pleurectomies,” he says.
5.“The needs of the patient must drive the procedure”So where does this leave people diagnosed with mesothelioma?“They should understand that if a surgeon performs only one type of operation to remove mesothelioma, that surgeon may not be able to provide the most appropriate treatment for them,” Sugarbaker stresses. “Because each procedure requires specialized knowledge and experience, patients with a potentially removable tumor should look for a surgeon skilled at performing whichever procedure is necessary to achieve MCR.”In short, “the needs of the patient – not the services offered by the surgeon – must always drive the procedure that is chosen,” he says. “My research has shown that when treated appropriately for their disease state, mesothelioma patients can live for a long time – which tells us that appropriately selected surgical procedures can make a difference.”

AN APPEAL TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS FOR MESOTHELIOMA PATIENTS
1.I take the opportunity to call on the friends and relatives of all the patients of mesothelioma to take care of them in their last days and give them all the love and affection of theirs as they need it.
2.Do not shun them as they are suffering for no fault of theirs and life is priceless.
3.Give them your love and affection and they do not need anything other than this as it gives them the solace and comfort and motivation to fight the disease and ofcourse the claim case.

EFFORTS IN ENGLAND TO INCREASE PAYOUTS FOR MESOTHELIOMA PATIENTS
1.A campaign is being launched to seek greater compensation for the families of people who developed lung cancer after inhaling asbestos. Some industrial workers contracted mesothelioma - a cancer of the lining of the lungs - which is always fatal.
2.In England, the levels of compensation are much lower than in Scotland and only husbands and wives are entitled to claim, not other family members. Solicitor Ian McFall said "negligent" companies should pay more.
3."The relationship between asbestos exposure and fatal lung disease has been known for many decades," he said.
4.The campaigners say that about 2,000 people will die from mesothelioma this year. And, they say, an estimated 90,000 men and women will die from asbestos-related disease between now and 2020, the vast majority from workplace exposure. 'Known risk' About 75% of the people who develop mesothelioma die within one year of diagnosis, but it can take between 20 and 40 years to develop after exposure. Mr McFall, from Thompson's Solicitors, told BBC News that those developing lung cancer now were exposed to asbestos in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. And he says the risks associated with the substance were known as early as the 1930s.
5."We blame the companies who were responsible for exposing people to asbestos at a time when those companies knew, or ought to have known, that asbestos could and does cause fatal lung disease," he said.
6. "If the employer still exists and has the assets to meet the claim then we expect those negligent to pay the compensation. Very often the companies don't exist any more, but their insurers will have the means to meet the claims."

Karmanos Researchers Identify Pathway for Treatment of Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
1. The Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute today announced significant scientific findings that could lead to better treatment and therapies for cancer patients suffering from
malignant pleural mesothelioma.
2. Karmanos scientists presented their research at the AmericanAssociation of Cancer Research (AACR) annual meeting in Los Angeles, CA."We are getting closer and closer to making an impact on this insidious disease," said Anil Wali, Ph.D., an associate professor with Karmanos who led a group of cross-collaborative researchers in studying the ubiquitin-proteasome proteolytic (UPP) pathway regulatory proteins.
3.Their study demonstrated that protein ubiquitination and degradation are critical players in the spread of mesothelioma. After studying 241 genes involved in the UPP pathway, Wali's group determined 33 genes were differentially expressed among epithelioid and biphasic histotypes.
4."We have already reported earlier detection biomarkers that can be utilized in assessing the high risk groups of patients," Dr. Wali said.
"Now, if we can develop a therapy to target this pathway, we will be one step closer to halting this disease."
5.Malignant pleural mesothelioma is an aggressive, asbestos-related thoracic cancer affecting about 3,000 new patients in the United States annually. Despite advances in cancer treatment, the average survival rate remains low and the majority of patients die within two years of diagnosis.Currently there is no cure.
6.The Karmanos Cancer Institute has a long history of mesothelioma education and treatment. In 2004, the Institute joined with Wayne State University's Center for Occupational and Environmental Medicine to create the National Center for Vermiculite and Asbestos Related Cancers.It addresses the need for early diagnosis and aggressive treatment for those afflicted with asbestos-related diseases. John C. Ruckdeschel, M.D., president and chief executive officer of KCI, co-directs the center inconjunction with Michael R. Harbut, M.D., M.P.H., F.C.C.P., an expert inthe diagnosis and treatment of environmental and workplace diseases. Dr.Ruckdeschel, an internationally recognized figure in both lung cancer research and treatment, contributed to the research and authorship of today's presentation.This study received funding from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC).Based in midtown Detroit, the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute is committed to a future free of cancer. The Institute is one of 39 National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer centers in the United States. Caring for more than 6,000 new patients annually on a budget of
$216 million, conducting more than 700 cancer-specific scientific investigation programs and clinical trials, the Karmanos Cancer Institute is among the nation's best cancer centers. Through the commitment of 1,000 staff, including nearly 300 faculty members, and supported by thousands of volunteer and financial donors, the Institute strives to prevent, detect and eradicate all forms of cancer. John C. Ruckdeschel, M.D. is the Institute's president and CEO.

BANI:BAN ASBESTOS NETWORK OF INDIA
1.It is an irony that the ship breaking workers at ALANG in INDIA are being subjected to asbestos without knowing the repercussion of the effect.
2.To combat the evil and to bring awareness an organisation BANI:BAN ASBESTOS NETWORK OF INDIA is working towards the aim of spreading the awareness about the evil effect of asbestos exposure and to bring erring companies to task.
3.A number of ships are being diverted to India and Bangladesh for ship breaking due to availability of cheap labour and thus exposing these personnel to hazardous diseases.
4.Let's all augument the effort of such organisations to see that the erring companies and personnel are brought to book.

MESSAGE-PATIENTS MESOTHELIOMA-LIVE LIFE KING SIZE
1.Its no doubt that life has been cruel to all those affected by Mesothelioma,but does that mean we stop living our life?
2.The answer is emphatic NO as life is God gifted and we must enjoy the life to its fullest extent.
3.Go out and enjoy as if their is no other day and at the last hour of the journey there should not be regret in life.
4.Now one thing which is certain is that you have been affected because of the disease and thus instead of cursing any body one must live each day to its fullest extent and revive other patients also with your personal example.
5.Remember The sinking of Titanic Ship and visualise the scene that when the whole mammoth ship was sinking and at that particular instance ship band players and pipers started playing the band so that the agony and pain of the people can be reduced as the death was certain.
6.The corollary to the above example is to be of use to the world and lets make it a better place to stay by one's own endeavour and at the end of the journey of this life one will feel much more satisfied than those who have been living a normal life as they have yet to understand the meaning of life.

STRESS CAUSED TO PATIENT DUE TO MESOTHELIOMA DETECTION
1. Coping with mesothelioma is not easy as symptoms of mesothelioma do not appear during growth of the cancer as latency period of the disease can vary from 10 to 30 years.
2. The time when mesothelioma is detected can be very crucial for the patient suffering from it as patient may feel lonely, insecure and frightened.
3. Most people do not live beyond 18 months after detection of disease. They are all the more stressed due to their certain death and uncertainity about compensation and the life of family members after his demise.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE EXERCISED WHILE FILING LAW SUIT AFTER BEING DIAGNOSED WITH MESOTHELIOMA
1. It is your right to seek compensation if you have worked in asbestos related enviroment.
2. The monetary compensation may be used to pay medical bills and make up for lost income.
3. There are two types of mesothelioma lawsuits:
(a) Personal injury claim.
(b) Wrongful death lawsuit.
4. Personal injury claim involves patient filing a lawsuit for damages that may include medical expenses, loss of income, and pain and suffering.
5. Wrongful death suit involves survivor of a mesothelioma fatality filing a claim.
6. Laws and procedures are different for each type of claim, and depend upon the jurisdiction where the case is filed.
7. IMPORTANT:You are likely to lose your legal right when you get ready to file a lawsuit if you do not take the following steps:
(a) In most states the summons and complaint should be filed within three years after you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma.
(b) Some other states allow only for one year statute of limitations. If you delay time, you lawsuit will not be accepted.
(c) If you have not filed the summons and complaint within three years after diagnosis with mesothelioma, you cannot file a lawsuit 30 or 40 years later when the disease begins to manifest itself.
(d) The complaint should be against the manufacturers of asbestos products who were aware of the dangers of asbestos and yet failed to warn the public or study their asbestos products.
(e) You should be aware of exactly where you were exposed to asbestos and during what period of time you were exposed.
(f) There should be evidence of your working in that location by mentioning co-workers and other friends who had known you working in that place.
(g) There should be detailed employment records.
(h) There should be detailed work history records.
(8) There should be detailed medical records. Medical records should include confirmatory tests for mesothelioma, the extent of damage, the prognosis, and the stage of the disease you are in. These tests should include: nature of symptoms that you contend are related to your asbestos related condition, the date you first experienced such symptom and the date of diagnosis, name of diagnosing physician, description of any pain, incapacity or inability to lead a normal life, as a result of your medical condition, biopsy or tissue sample test results, X-rays and CT Scans, etc.
(9) You must be ready for a EBT which means an examination before trial. An EBT is a process whereby a person with malignant mesothelioma is placed under oath and asked a series of questions concerning their background, work history, exposure to asbestos products and medical questions. The deposition can be made at home or in a hospital. Failing to make this will make you ineligible to fight for your legal rights. • You should not have accepted any money from anyone as settlement before the trial begins.

TREATMENT OPTIONS AVAILABLE FOR MESOTHELIOMA
1. Treatment for mesothelioma depends on following factors:
(a) The location of the cancer.
(b) The stage of the disease.
(c) The patient's age and general health.
2. Standard treatment options include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Sometimes, these treatments are combined.
SURGERY
3. Surgery is a common treatment for mesothelioma. The doctor may remove part of the lining of the chest or abdomen and some of the tissue around it.
4. For cancer of the pleura (pleural mesothelioma), a lung may be removed in an operation called a Pneumonectomy.
5. Sometimes part of the diaphragm, the muscle below the lungs that helps with breathing, is also removed.
RADIATION THERAPY
6. Radiation therapy, also called Radiotherapy, involves the use of high-energy rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumours.
7. Radiation therapy affects the cancer cells only in the treated area. The radiation may come from a machine (external radiation) or from putting materials that produce radiation through thin plastic tubes into the area where the cancer cells are found (internal radiation therapy).
CHEMOTHERAPY
8. Chemotherapy is the use of anticancer drugs to kill cancer cells throughout the body. Most drugs used to treat mesothelioma are given by injection into a vein (intravenous, or IV).
9. Doctors are also studying the effectiveness of putting chemotherapy directly into the chest or abdomen (intracavitary chemotherapy).
10. To relieve symptoms and control pain, the doctor may use a needle or a thin tube to drain fluid that has built up in the chest or abdomen. The procedure for removing fluid from the chest is called Thoracentesis.
11. Removal of fluid from the abdomen is called Paracentesis. Drugs may be given through a tube in the chest to prevent more fluid from accumulating. Radiation therapy and surgery may also be helpful in relieving symptoms.

STATISTICS MESOTHELIOMA
1. Approximately 2000 new cases of mesothelioma are diagnosed in the U.S. each year.
2. Internationally, the incidence is approximately 9 cases per every 1 million persons.
3. Malignant mesothelioma has a peak incidence about 40 years after asbestos exposure, and it commonly develops when a person is between 50 and 70 years of age.
4. The average age of diagnosis is 50 to 70 years. The disease affects men 3 to 5 times more often than women.Study showed that 45% had a history of exposure to asbestos and 53% had occupational exposure to asbestos.
5. The average survival time is about 12-18 monthsMesothelioma has a long latency (inactive) period of 15-20 years.
6. Experts predict that mesothelioma diagnoses will continue to increase in the United States for at least another 10 to 20 years.
7. Deaths from Mesothelioma are 2,371 deaths in America 2001 (NCHS, 2003) • Deaths from Mesothelioma are 1848 deaths in the UK 2001(UK Government Statistics)
8. Over half a million asbestos and mesothelioma injury claims have been filed so far. Over 50000 were filed in 1998 alone.
9. Mesothelioma has no preference for race or gender, as asbestos exposure is thought to be the most important risk factor. Asbestos exposure is directly linked to at least 50% of the cases.
10. Incidence ( annual ) of Mesothelioma is 563 new cases in the UK 2002 (UK Government Statistics)
11. By the year 2030, it is estimated that asbestos will have caused 60000 instances of mesothelioma.

MESOTHELIOMA ATTORNEYS -SELECT WITH DILIGENCE
1. Its essential that when one decide to hire an attorney to fight against the injustice of contracting mesothelioma, it is necessary that one must hire a reliable attorney who knows what needs to be done.
2. It was stated in the Wall Street Journal that if a mesothelioma case goes to trial the average award in 2001 was $6 million.3. Of course no one can guarantee that one will win but if one can prove that the cause of your mesothelioma was unsafe workplace procedures and practices then one have a better chance of winning.
4. Either way even if you lose one do not make any financial contribution to the cost of the legal proceedings.

SYMPTOMS PERITONEAL MESOTHELIOMA
1. Symptoms of peritoneal Mesothelioma are abdominal pain, swelling due to fluid build up in the abdomen, and weight loss.
2. Rare symptoms can be blood clotting abnormalities, bowel obstruction, fever, and anemia.
3. When this cancer spreads throughout the body, it causes trouble swallowing, pain, or swelling on the neck and face.
2. Rare symptoms can be blood clotting abnormalities, bowel obstruction, fever, and anemia.
3. When this cancer spreads throughout the body, it causes trouble swallowing, pain, or swelling on the neck and face.
BENIGN MESOTHELIOMA
1. There is a form of non cancerous (benign) mesothelioma that can develop in the lining of the lungs, or in the lining of the reproductive organs.
2. It can occur in either men or women.
3. These non cancerous tumours are very rare.
4. Due to its much less occurence, not much diligence is being given here to the disease.

4. Due to its much less occurence, not much diligence is being given here to the disease.
PERITONEAL MESOTHELIOMA
1. The tissue lining the abdomen is called as Peitoneum.It helps to protect the contents of abdomen.It produces a lubricating fluid which helps to move the organs smoothly inside the abdomen.The function of this membrane is to enclose abdominal organs.
2. Peritoneal Mesothelioma is the second type of Mesothelioma which affects the peritoneum membrane.Mesothelioma of tisues lining the abdominal cavity is called as Peritoneal Mesothelioma.
3. However, peritoneal mesothelioma is rarely found as compared to pleural cancer. This is the reason why peritoneal mesothelioma is more invasive and results in a shorter life expectancy for a patient.

3. However, peritoneal mesothelioma is rarely found as compared to pleural cancer. This is the reason why peritoneal mesothelioma is more invasive and results in a shorter life expectancy for a patient.
SYMPTOMS PLEURAL MESOTHELIOMA
1. The most common early symptoms of asbestos-related diseases are:
(a) Blood in the sputum (fluid)
(b) A cough or a change in cough pattern
(c) Difficulty in swallowing
(d) Hoarseness
(e) Shortness of breath
(f) Pain in the chest or abdomen
(g) Weight loss.
2. However the exact symptoms for Pleural Mesotheliom causes accumulation of fluid in the pleura and thus causes shortness of breath and pain in the chest.
3. Rare symptoms can be blood clotting abnormalities, bowel obstruction, fever, and anemia.

4. When this cancer spreads throughout the body, it causes trouble swallowing, pain, or swelling on the neck and face.
PLEURAL MESOTHELIOMA
1. Pleural Mesothelioma is the most common type of Mesothelioma cancer.
2. A thin membrane between the chest cavity and the lungs, known as the ‘Pleura’, is affected in this type of cancer and thus gets its name. The tissues lining (or covering) the lungs are called the pleura.3. There are two pleura and thus called as pleural membranes. The gap between them is called the pleural space. The pleura are fibrous sheets which help to protect the lungs. They produce a lubricating fluid that fills the gap between the two pleura. This helps the lungs to move smoothly in the chest when they are inflating and deflating as we breathe.
4. To sum it up we can say that the function of this membrane is to provide a lubricated and smooth surface between the chest and the lungs to allow smooth movement.
4. Pleural Mesothelioma is also commonly known as lung cancer.It can also affect the sheet of tissue covering the heart i.e pericardium.Pericardium protects the heart and allows it to move smoothly within the sac.
5. Symptoms of Pleural Mesothelioma do not occur for 30 to 40 years after exposure to asbestos. 6. Known exposure should be enough for one to see a physician regularly.

(a) Pleural Mesothelioma.
(b) Peitoneal Mesothelioma.
(c) Benign Mesothelioma.
(a) Pleural Mesothelioma.
(b) Peitoneal Mesothelioma.
(c) Benign Mesothelioma.
WHAT IS MESOTHALIOMA?
1. Malignant Mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer, is a disease in which cancer (malignant) cells are found in the sac lining the chest (the pleura), the lining of the abdominal cavity (the peritoneum) or the lining around the heart (the pericardium). It is a cancer of mesothelial cells. These cells cover the outer surface of most of our internal body organs, forming a lining that is sometimes called the mesothelium. So this is where this type of cancer gets its name.It can develop in tissues covering lungs and abdomen.
2. Most people with malignant mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they breathed asbestos. Others have been exposed to asbestos in a household environment, often without knowing it. An exposure of as little as one or two months can result in mesothelioma 30 or 40 years later.

ASBESTOS SUIT RESULTS IN COMPENSATION OF $2 MILLION
1. A jury has ordered General Motors to pay $2 million to a retired mechanic who was exposed to asbestos through his work and developed serious asbestos-related illnesses as a result.
2. The plaintiff, Roland Leo Grenier, Sr., represented by attorneys Scott R. Frieling and Rick Nemeroff, filed the lawsuit in New Castle County Superior Court against General Motors, Ford Motor Co., and several other manufacturers.
3. A steelworker from Minnesota has filed an asbestos lawsuit against 100 defendant companies claiming that he was repeatedly exposed to asbestos for long periods of time in the course of his work, which led him to develop mesothelioma.
4. Edwin Brekke claims that during his work as a steelworker, boiler operator, and labourer at various locations between 1938 and 1982, he was exposed to, inhaled, or otherwise absorbed dangerous asbestos fibers that emanated from products and materials he worked with and around.

ERIONITE-ANOTHER MINERAL CULPRIT FOR CAUSING MESOTHELIOMA
1. Though mesothelioma is almost always associated with asbestos, a study found that another mineral, Erionite called as Erionite, is even more dangerous. Erionite is even more naturally fibrous than asbestos. It is a naturally occurring, but rare volcanic mineral that often has sections that look and feel like wool.
2. The study, published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found a large number of cases of Mesothelioma in two villages in Turkey where Erionite is very common in nature, and commonly used in the construction of housing and storage rooms.
3. The researchers followed around 891 people from these two villages who were 20 years old or older for 23 years. They found that during those 23 years, 372 deaths occurred in the two neighboring villages. Of these deaths, 119 were from Mesothelioma. That means that nearly half (44.5%) of all deaths in these villages were due to exposure to Erionite.
4. Researchers have come to conclusion that those who experience long-term exposure to erionite are at an exceptionally high risk of developing Mesothelioma.
5. There is no known cases of Mesothelioma from erionite in the United States.

PRECAUTIONS WHILE SELECTING LAWYERS/ ATTORNEYS FOR MESOTHELIOMA SETTLEMENT CASES.
1. Those who have been diagnosed with Mesothelioma are allowed to file a lawsuit. Lots of companies who were accountable for exposing their employees to asbestos were well aware of the hazards and results, but still let their workers carry on with little or no defence. Now, decades later, the effects of this contact is becoming prominent on the workers post their retirement.
2. Those looking for asbestos attorney should hunt around for someone who has confirmed experience in the field. The lawyer may not disclose name of people and complex details about the person for whom they have fought the case, as that would tantamount to be a breach of confidentiality. On the other hand, they can grant one with particulars on how rapidly cases were set on, how much compensation were effectively obtained, and how many mesothelioma lawsuits they have dealt with.
3. It is vital that one locate a good, experienced asbestos attorney as quickly as possible, after one has been diagnosed with an asbestos linked disease like Mesothelioma. The majority states have a set time limit in which one can file his lawsuit.

DIAGNOSIS-ASBESTOS RELATED DISEASE
1. It was in 1924 that the first diagnosis of asbestos triggered illness was made. A woman who was working with asbestos since the age of 13 died at the age of 33. An English doctor who determined the cause of her death named it asbestosis. With this discovery, a research was carried out on asbestos and 25% of people working in asbestos mines in England were found afflicted with asbestos related lungs disease.
2. It was in 1931 that laws were passed to increase ventilation and make asbestosis an excusable work related disease.
3. Further It was in 1962 that a Dr Mc Nulty made another diagnosis of the asbestos related to disease which can cause severe disfigurement and impairment of the lungs. People suffering from the fatal disease suffer from breathing problems, abnormal blood clotting, abdominal pain, significant, weight loss and high fever.
4. Occupational Safety and Health Administration has devised rules and regulations to help mine and shipyard workers from transitory exposures to asbestos and help win the race against this disease.
5. Mine workers working in hazardous asbestos environments are urged to wear protective clot help avoid inflicting their loved ones with cancerous effects of asbestos fibers. OSHA urges exposed workers to bathe daily to remove any traces of the cancerous silicate like fiber.
6. Regular check ups are important as a physician may be able to diagnose the disease at an early stage.
7. The asbestos related cancer of Mesothelioma usually takes its toll on the individual after 20 to 30 yrs. During this time the individual may become the victim of serious cough breathing problems.

ASBESTOS-HISTORY
1. The history of asbestos dates back to 3000 years and traces of asbestos have been found in pottery and insulation in remote areas of Finland. Egyptians used it in the wicks of eternal flames of the vestal virgins, as funeral dresses for the cremation of kings, and as napkins, burial clothes and table mats.Egyptians also used asbestos in clothes for improving its durability.
2. Romans also used it in cremation and lamp wicks due to its heat and fire resistant qualities. It began to be used in insulating armour for soldiers and warriors. In ancient times items made of asbestos were held to be at par with items made of gold. It was generally used to wrap bodies when bodies were burnt after death to keep the ashes of the body separate from the woods and other burning materials.
3. It gained popularity in the 17th century with the industrial revolution and started to be used as insulation in turbines, boilers, kilns and other high temperature products. The first ever asbestos mine was opened in 1879 at Thetford in Canada. It became a major component in insulation for boilers, fireboxes and pipes in steam locomotives. Construction materials contained asbestos to include insulation, floor and ceiling tiles, siding and cement pipes. The use of asbestos increased greatly during World War II. It was used in ships in pipe fitting, insulators and other parts. Almost 4.3 million people who worked in shipyards were exposed to the risk of asbestos related illness.
