asbestos and cancer?
Written on Friday, 15 of February, 2008 at 11:46 am
A former construction worker I ran into yesterday told me something about mesothelioma. To my surprise, he surely knows well about it because he was diagnosed to have it. The doctor told him that it is a cancer that invades the protective lining that envelops most of the internal organs in our body or the “mesothelium”. Earlier or constant exposure to asbestos dust and fiber through inhalation can predispose a person to this type of cancer. I asked how one would know if he has it, he said with conviction that when you are exposed to asbestos frequently, with age 30-50 and you suffer from shortness of breath, cough and pain in the chest, there is no better thing to do but to consult your physician.
Well, to guys out there working hard to earn, as the saying goes, “HEALTH IS WEALTH”, don’t forget to take care of your health and wear your personal protective equipments.
