A horrible way to go
We do a lot of surfing the Internet here at truthisnews and we've been seeing a lot of news stories about the disease mesothelioma which is caused by breathing in asbestos fibers.
Right now we're seeing a lot of stories coming out of the United Kingdom, but Japan is also talking about it. Being curious souls we did some checking on mesothelioma symptoms, just in case.
Most of the symptoms, such as shortness of breath or other breathing difficulties, chest or abdominal pain, can also be attributed to other diseases. Seems that for a doctor to make an accurate diagnosis he will have to know if the patient had ever been around asbestos.
Since it can take up to 50 years for the disease to show up, it is affecting mostly older people. Take heed: if you know of someone with these kind of symptoms find out if they ever worked around asbestos. Then make sure they tell their doctor.
Interesting note: musician and songwriter Warren Zevon died of mesothelioma after not recognizing the symptoms. Actor Steve McQueen is also said to have died from the disease.
