Mesothelioma – The Health Concerns of Asbestos

Asbestos induced cancer comes in the form of a rare but very deadly type called mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is caused by the inhalation and repeated exposure to asbestos and is deadly. It is a slow developing cancer, however, and those who contract it are often able to live for many years past their diagnosis. For some reason, mesothelioma, in some people, is a very slow developing condition. Some it takes months to start exhibiting symptoms and for others it may take a few years. Much of it depends on the kind of asbestos exposure that was experienced and how great a quantity of the fibers went into the lungs.
