Massachusetts Mesothelioma Lawyer
Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is an aggressive and inoperable form of asbestos cancer that affects close to 3,000 Americans every year – hard-working people who contracted this tragic condition through no fault of their own. Due to its long latency period, symptoms of mesothelioma typically do not appear for up to 55-years from the first exposure to asbestos. Unfortunately, there is no known cure; only palliative treatments to ease the pain and suffering are available.
What are the symptoms of mesothelioma?
- Chest wall pain
- Pleural effusion or fluid surrounding the lung
- Shortness of breath
- Fatigue or anemia
- Wheezing, hoarseness or cough
- Coughing up blood
