People who are at risk of getting mesothelioma cancer
People who are at risk of getting mesothelioma cancer.
Military war veterans – Navy personnel in particular - are at risk of developing mesothelioma because they were exposed to significant levels of asbestos in shipbuilding, insulation, and fire retardant materials on ship and at base. Military necessity outweighed health concerns, and thousands of innocent people and their families are now paying the price for this oversight. Even though veterans of the military cannot sue the government because of asbestos-related diseases, there are other ways to take action against those responsible. Furthermore, civilian military workers are also covered by the provisions of many special mesothelioma legal actions. Mesothelioma in Mechanics and other WorkersWorkers are the people at most risk of developing mesothelioma, because they worked directly or indirectly with the deadly materials. There are dozens of at risk jobs, but some are more dangerous than others. These include: • Automotive mechanics Perhaps the most tragic aspect of mesothelioma is the innocent family members of workers that had no direct exposure to the material but suffer from the disease nonetheless. Workers who dealt with this deadly material often carried microscopic asbestos fibers home with them in their clothes and hair, which caused secondary exposure to their families and friends. Over time, these innocent victims can develop mesothelioma, asbestosis, and other fatal conditions. Other people that get mesothelioma.There are other people that get mesothelioma besides other workers and their family members. Because asbestos was used in thousands of different industries in thousands of different locations, people with no exposure to asbestos in the workplace are now suffering from this disease. Asbestos insulation in churches, schools, recreation centers, and shopping centers can be responsible for a mesothelioma, asbestosis, or lung cancers. Victims of Mesothelioma. If you are an unfortunate victim of asbestos-related mesothelioma, regardless of how you developed it, you may be entitled to take legal action against those responsible for your condition. Asbestos litigation is one of the most potent legal tools for victims of mesothelioma to reclaim the life stolen from them by the greed and deception of asbestos companies.

Mesothelioma news - Australia :Victim's family of mesothelioma cancer funds asbestos research
| Mesothelioma news Mesothelioma cancer victim's family funds asbestos research February 5, 2008 - 2:04PM source:news.smh.com.au The family of a man who died four months after winning a record $2.75 million payout from asbestos manufacturer James Hardie, has commemorated his death with a gift. Tim Lacone died last June aged 58 after a battle with the asbestos-related disease, mesothelioma. His family has now donated $200,000 to a research fund established by his law firm, Slater & Gordon. Mr Lacone had reached a multi-million-dollar settlement with James Hardie on February 5 - exactly one year ago. Mr Lacone's sister-in-law and carer, Meg Bentley, wept on Tuesday as she recalled the pain he suffered before succumbing to the cancer. She said his death was a great loss. But before he died, Mr Lacone invented a revolutionary water saving filter for swimming pools, which his family has continued to develop. "He was a very caring person," Ms Bentley told reporters in Melbourne. "He had such an inventive mind. "It's a loss to everybody that Tim is not around any more." The $200,000 was donated to Slater & Gordon's Asbestos Research Fund, as Mr Lacone had wished. The firm donated an additional $300,000, bringing the fund's total contributions to $1 million since 2004. The first $500,000 of the fund has already been spent on a range of research projects. Lawyer Peter Gordon said advances in treatments and a possible cure for mesothelioma would be assisted if large companies linked to asbestos also donated to research. He said while some provisions for research funding were made by James Hardie and CSR, more was needed. "It's a mere fraction of the amount that is spent in compensation," he said. "I think that whilst Slater and Gordon and Tim's heroic donation are important, it doesn't really compare to the sort of money that would be available if these big companies, whose asbestos liabilities runs into tens of millions of dollars, were prepared to open their pockets. "We say to them, they should have another look at it." Ms Bentley said Mr Lacone's invention was currently at the trial stage with filter company Hurlcon. mesothelioma news Labels: mesothelioma news |

Mesothelioma cancer victims who fight with the cancer
| Mesothelioma cancer Shirley Kaven defied disease to make 14 years of memories By Jim Sheeler, Rocky Mountain News, August 19, 2004 JOHNSTOWN - Only a few months after the diagnosis, Shirley Kaven stood tall in the back of a pickup truck and decorated the entrance to her new horse ranch. As usual, she was smiling. "This is a woman who's just been told she's going to die," said her husband, Jerry Kaven, as he looked at a photo of his wife. The smiling woman in the photo would go on to travel the world and roll on the floor with new grandchildren. She would pilot a boat, fly in a glider and parasail. She would raise and ride horses and share her skills with other people whom nobody ever expected to sit in a saddle. "For 14 years, you couldn't tell she was sick. Everyone would look at her and say, 'She doesn't even look sick,' " Jerry Kaven said. "But it was inside, eating her away." Shirley Jean Kaven died Aug. 11 of complications from mesothelioma, a cancer caused by inhalation of asbestos. She was 66. She spent the first part of her life in the shadows of the auto factories of Dearborn, Mich. She married her high school sweetheart, Jerry Kaven, and by 19 she had their first child. Neither would go to college; they would both learn life on the job. For Mrs. Kaven, that didn't take long. In 1968, amid racial turmoil in nearby Detroit, the Kavens and their four children moved to Colorado, and Jerry Kaven soon co-founded Accurate Plastics in Longmont. From the onset, Mrs. Kaven was an integral part of the firm, primarily in bookkeeping. Over the years the company grew to more than 140 employees. In 1989 - only months after retirement - Mrs. Kaven said she had trouble breathing. She may have been exposed to asbestos while she helped build the family's first home in Colorado, her husband said. The diagnosis: six to 18 months. Shirley Kaven dug in, still smiling. "She said if you don't start from your heart and have a positive attitude, your body's not going to follow," Jerry Kaven said. "She said, 'You gotta take charge and be the captain of your own ship.' She was not going to let it take her without a fight." She began a barrage of therapies, both holistic and traditional. For the first few years, she seemed to have kicked the cancer. The family moved to a 35-acre equestrian ranch, where she shared horses with her children and grandkids. She volunteered at the Colorado Therapeutic Riding Center, where the woman with the terminal disease was the one teaching disabled kids to ride. Inside their home Tuesday, Jerry Kaven flipped through photo albums filled with memories that medical experts said she would never have - including nearly five years of living in a motor home while traveling across the United States. They eventually built a new home in the Florida Keys but returned to Colorado last year as she continued to weaken. Soon she was also battling inoperable heart and lung conditions. Still, she refused to leave every doctor's office without one of her trademark hugs. Hours before her death in the hospital, her family realized what was happening. She lived the last few hours of her life as she had lived since the first diagnosis. "She looked up," recalled her daughter, Susan Stewart, "and she said, 'Am I that sick?'

Mesothelioma stories 7- Fight with the cancer
| Mesothelioma stories Margie Levine: she taught how to live with cancer By Katie Curley, Globe Correspondent, March 7, 2004 Margie P. (Plotka) Levine of Chestnut Hill and Cape Cod was told she had only months to live after she was diagnosed with the deadliest form of lung cancer, malignant pleural mesothelioma, at the age of 43. Instead she lived another 14 years and published an influential book, "Surviving Cancer, One woman's story and her inspiring program for anyone facing a cancer diagnosis." Mrs. Levine died yesterday at Brigham and Women's Hospital. She was 57. After receiving treatment for the cancer in 1989, Mrs. Levine began speaking at hospitals such as the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, promoting a blend of conventional medicine and holistic therapies that included following a specific diet, meditating, and seeking joy. A health education teacher, social worker, and therapist, Mrs. Levine conducted mind-body seminars for cancer patients throughout the country. In 1999 she spoke Cancer Association, and after her book was published in 2001 she went on two national book tours. "I vowed that if I lived, I would dedicate the rest of my life to empowering other cancer patients who feel desperate to harness their coping skills," Mrs. Levine said in a 1999 Globe article. Born in Utica, N.Y., Mrs. Levine graduated from Rider College in New Jersey and earned a master's degree in education from Boston University. She taught sex education and worked as a social worker in Braintree public schools for 15 years. After her diagnosis, she became a student of her disease, traveling from Boston to New York to consult with specialists. She worked with her surgeon, Dr. David Sugarbaker, and the medical team at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, to develop her own protocol. She became the first in Boston to undergo an aggressive treatment that involved chemotherapy drugs being poured in her chest during surgery. Her recovery continues to be influential in mesothelioma treatment. In the introduction to her book, Dr. Sugarbaker says, "every doctor wishes he had a Margie Levine as a patient." She was the longest survivor of the disease. Mrs. Levine was dedicated to holistic medicine, and throughout her treatment she created own healing program. "When you give, you get. And this girl gave," her husband, Ralph, said yesterday. "What she got back from patients was intangible. Even in her worst state, she would go up to a patient and ask them what they were eating." In addition to counseling patients from around the world by phone, Mrs. Levine was the director of the Boston chapter of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, an organization that promotes the mind-body connection in medicine. Mrs. Levine split her time between Chestnut Hill and Cape Cod. "She was earthy and genuine." said her son, Daniel, of Colorado." Her home was filled with flowers and often friends, who would drop by unannounced. Her passions were picnics in the backyard, and gourmet dinners on the beach with friends." In the last months, Mrs. Levine and her family organized a fund in her name to buy her book from her publisher. The fund will publicize the book and work toward keeping it in bookstores and doctors' offices. In addition to her husband and son, Mrs. Levine leaves another son, Randy, of Florida; and two grandchildren. mesothelioma stories source:mesotheliomaweb Labels: mesothelioma stories |

Mesothelioma stories 6- Fight with the cancer
| WILLARD DAHL OF SPOKANE, WASHINGTON --1998 Getting the Bad News When my doctor first told me I had mesothelioma it didn't completely surprise me. For several years off and on I'd had trouble with my breathing. In 1992 I asked my doctor if Lichen planus (a disease of the skin which I have) can affect the lungs, and he said no. So I knew something else was wrong. The date of diagnosis was the last part of July '96, and it was a real shocker (to the family). I suppose if I had been 10/20/30 years younger it would have been tougher, but now that our children have children of their own and other problems as well it makes it easier for everybody. Battling This battle I have with cancer has just begun, and we still don't know what the outcome will be. I'm not the type to say "I'll lick this thing" "too macho." In the mean time I do the things I've always done -- walk my two miles every day like clock work, take my wife to town every day for lunch, talk to our kids on the phone and see them when we can and keep things as normal as possible. Since I've had my lungs talcumed I don't have the quick energy. My lungs don't respond as before. But no complaints. I saw Dr. Loveli on Feb. 23rd and he's very happy with my progress. My Mother died at age 92, and her older sister died at age 105. My Dad's sister lived well into her 90's so my chances of living a long life were pretty good. With that in mind, I feel the asbestos industry blind-sided me. Hope I know the fact that I've never smoked has played a part in my ability to fight this disease. Next year my wife and I will celebrate our 50th. ---Willard Dahl NOTE: Mr. Dahl and his wife did celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary on March 26, 1999. Sadly, after a valiant three-year fight, he lost his battle with mesothelioma in July a few months later. source:mesotheliomaweb Labels: mesothelioma stories |

| BOB HARTHCOCK OF HOUSTON, TEXAS, 1999 A Hard Worker and Responsible Manager From 1952 to 1982, Bob worked at the ARMCO Steel Plant in Houston, the largest steel plant west of the Mississippi. During those 30 years, Bob and his wife Jean raised three children, who are now married with children of their own. Bob worked hard during those years. He started out as a helper and worked his way up including duty on the night shift for nine years and as step-up foreman on weekends. Yet he still made the time to coach little league for both his boys every year. He got merit increases every year and eventually became maintenance foreman in charge of several hundred men. Bob Harthcock believed that responsible management meant hands-on management. Hands-on management meant arriving at work at 5:30 a.m. to meet with the night shift before they went home. It meant walking 9 miles a day to make sure that each and every worker was doing his job and lending a helping hand if necessary. Ironically, it was Bob Harthcock’s strong work ethic and hands-on management that exposed him to deadly asbestos fibers that led to this disease. The Exposure and the Disease Bob Harthcock had no earthly idea that the asbestos fibers he breathed in daily as part of his job, were in fact a ticking time bomb, that would one day cause the deadly cancer mesothelioma. He had no earthly idea that the white powdery substance that he brought home on his work clothes would endanger his family. He had no clue that when Jean shook out his clothes before doing laundry, this would one day cause her to suffer from asbestosis and lose 40% of her lung’s diffusing capacity. Coping and Surviving Bob and Jean are people that anyone would be proud to have as neighbors. They are totally devoted to each other, to their fellow man and to their faith. They have made the best of their situation. For the last 10 years they have been full time volunteers, not earning a penny and even paying their own expenses. They have traveled all over Texas and Mexico helping build homes for the homeless and churches for the poor. They have volunteered in hospitals and in ambulances as paramedics. They have taught English and Bible classes, and helped prepare food for the poor in Mexico and Central America, and for the Apache Indians in New Mexico. Like Bob, many people with this disease are told they will survive 6 to 8 months after diagnosis. Bob has been breaking records with a seven year survival as of 1999. His doctors at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston are perplexed. Bob, who is a religious man has told them "try prescribing prayer". NOTE: Bob Harthcock lost his valiant battle with mesothelioma on May 28, 2000, after helping many others deal with this disease. Bob's great-grandson was born on the day of his death. source:mesotheliomaweb Labels: mesothelioma stories |

| BELLE MCGUCKIN OF MANITOBA, CANADA, 1999 The Symptoms and Diagnosis In July of 1998, I had a heavy, bronchial-type cough. My doctor said if the cough did not go away completely to come back and see him. At that time, he gave me a chest x-ray, which showed a pleural thickening on my right lung. I was sent to a respirologist who in turn sent me to a thoracic surgeon for an open chest biopsy. It was three months from when I first went to my G.P. with the cough to when I was diagnosed on Oct. 23rd with metastatic mesothelioma. I was told many times how I don’t fit the profile –generally men in there 60s and 70s who’ve worked in asbestos-related industries. But I had it and I was told there was nothing that could be done as mesothelioma is always incurable and fatal. Belle’s Reaction Many of us wonder what we’d do if told we had a terminal disease. It had crossed my mind in the past especially when I’d heard of people I know who had been given such devastating news. Of course, I couldn’t imagine what they’d be going through – but now I can. My first reaction was disbelief. I told the surgeon, "How can you tell me I’m going to die? I don’t feel sick." To which he responded, "You soon will." And there were tears. I think it was harder on my family than it was on me. I guess they felt helpless and full of despair. The first three days after diagnosis were the worst. I cried constantly. I didn’t eat. Then on the third day I received my first ray of hope. Finding Hope and Help My sister and two friends had started cruising the Internet looking for information on mesothelioma. One of the women found the Mesothelioma Web. After a 20 minute conversation the clouds started to clear away. I became encouraged to pursue a cure or treatment. I was told that there are survivors of this disease and people who were living with it. I was advised to look into the various research that is going on. This conversation gave me what nobody else had – HOPE –and I was buoyed. I was also hungry, all of a sudden, and I tucked into a big meal of steak and onions, potatoes, peas and carrots. From then on, I wanted as much information as I could get – the latest up-to-date information. Not having a computer, I relied totally on my sister, Malveen, and the two friends, Judith and Rosemary. They found all sorts of information and I spent a part of each day sifting through papers, contacting doctors, researchers, and others diagnosed with the disease. The more knowledgeable I became, the more empowered I felt. Of course, there were still plenty of tears and days when I felt that I was never going to find an answer. Choosing a Physician Finally, after researching, I decided the doctor I wanted to try and cure me was Dr. David Sugarbaker, chief of Thoracic Surgery at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. I spoke to him on the phone at the end of November. He told me of a new protocol he had recently started and invited me to come to Boston for an assessment , and to see if I fit the criteria for this trial. My appointment was for Jan. 5, 1999 – approximately 2 ½ months from diagnosis. I was very nervous while sitting in the waiting room that Tuesday. I knew I fit most of the criteria. My heart was strong; my blood was good; all my other organs were normal; I had no chronic diseases or ailments – but I didn’t know if I was in Stage I or if I was beyond, which would make me ineligible for that particular trial. Miracles Happen Then a miracle happened. One of Dr. Sugarbaker’s staff came to tell me that a man that was to be operated on Thursday couldn’t because his disease had progressed too far. Others on the waiting list couldn’t get to Boston on time for this operating room opening. So they were offering the spot to me! Dr. Sugarbaker had looked over my reports, MRI, etc. and I fit! I felt like I’d won the lottery. I met with the doctor and spent the rest of the day doing all the hospital pre-op necessities. The operation is called an extra-pleural pneumonectomy followed by an intraoperative heated wash. My pleura, lung, diaphragm, and pericardium were removed. Then I was washed out for an hour with a drug call Cisplatin that was heated up to 4 degrees above body temperature. A new pericardium and diaphragm were reconstructed with gortex before I was sewn up 5 ½ hours later. Recovering This was a very heavy operation and there is a long recovery period. I know I’m not out of the woods yet – that there may be microscopic mesothelioma cells that weren’t eliminated and have started to divide and reproduce. But can anyone be sure that something similar is not happening in their body or that when they leave the house this morning that they will come back tonight? What I do know is that my prognosis is infinitely better than it was at the beginning, which was 0%. Every week I notice myself becoming stronger. My stamina is increasing. To look at me you’d never know I had major surgery. The 14 ½" incision is fading. A doctor told me I’d be able to wear a bikini. That’s great news because I’ve never worn one before! Dr. Sugarbaker told me that I’ll be able to continue scuba diving but, "wait six months." Perspective I feel a very lucky and truly blessed woman. The road was made much easier with the strength of my family. My friends, community, total strangers and new friends helped or encouraged me. I found knowledge was a big factor in dealing with my disease. But HOPE was the biggest inspiration! --Belle source:mesotheliomaweb Labels: mesothelioma stories |

Mesothelioma Treatment Part 4
Mesothelioma treatment
The treatment of pleural mesothelioma is difficult. When mesothelioma is diagnosed early, these treatment options are more successful. It should try to advance medical science to make new innovations in the treatment of mesothelioma. There are three options for treatment depending on severity of disease. One of the option treatment for mesothelioma cancer is radiotheraphy.
Radiation therapy, also called radiotherapy, treats cancer by using penetrating beams of high energy or streams of particles called radiation. In treating mesothelioma, radiation may be used aggressively in combination with surgery, or palliatively to control symptoms. In an aggressive combined modality approach, radiation is used to attack microscopic or residual disease remaining in the chest cavity after extrapleural pnuemonectomy. An example of this is Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), which uses x-rays of varying intensities in conjunction with computer generated images to deliver targeted radiation directly to cancer cells while reducing the amount of radiation to surrounding healthy tissue. More on Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT). Used palliatively, radiation can help control metastases (spread) of the tumor along tracks left by invasive procedures such as thoracoscopy, needle biopsy and chest tube drainage, or to control disease symptoms, such as pain or shortness of breath. An exciting new development in radiation oncology is tomotherapy. A brief description of steps in the helical tomotherapy process. Labels: mesothelioma treatment |

People who are at risk of mesothelioma cancer
What are the risk factors for mesothelioma cancer. There are several studies have shown that family members of people exposed to asbestos at work have an increased risk of developing mesothelioma, because asbestos fibers are carried home on the clothes of the workers.Family members and others living with asbestos workers have an increased risk of developing mesothelioma cancer, and possibly other asbestos related diseases. As a result, each year 3,000 Americans and many thousands more worldwide develop mesothelioma, and millions of us are at risk. Some work areas have been more susceptible to asbestos in the past. The following occupations have traditionally been area where risk of exposure to asbestos is great, and the numbers of people in such occupations contracting asbestos disease have been high.
Trades at high risk for developing mesothelioma include: * Metal plate workers (including shipbuilding) * Vehicle body builders (including rail vehicles) * Plumbers * Gas fitters * Carpenters * Electricians * Construction workers * Plasterers * Builders * Handymen * Steel erectors * Painters * Sheet metal workers * Welders What types of products typically contained asbestos? The following products commonly contained varying degrees of asbestos. This list is not all inclusive, and is meant only as general information. * Molded or preformed lagging used in thermal insulation of pipes and boilers * Sprayed asbestos used as fire protection in ducts, firebreaks, panels, partitions, soffit boards, ceiling panels and around structural steel work * Insulating boards used for fire protection, thermal insulation, partitioning and ducts * Asbestos packing used in firebreaks in ceiling voids * Millboard, paper and paper products used for insulation of electrical equipment; asbestos paper may also be used as a fireproof facing on wood fiberboard * Asbestos cement products in both flat and corrugated sheets used as roofing or wall cladding; cement products were also used in gutters, rainwater pipes and water tanks * Textured coatings (such as Artex) * Bitumen roofing material * Vinyl or thermoplastic floor tile Source: mesotheliomainternational This does not mean that if you or a loved one has worked in any of these trades that you have likely contracted mesothelioma. However, if any of the symptoms do show up go see a doctor immediately. Early detection is often the best medicine. In some cases just a very small exposure to certain types of the fibre can be very serious. Always get a specialist company to do tests. Labels: mesothelioma risk factors |

Mesothelioma treatment.
How long does it take after exposure for mesothelioma to show up. An asbestos exposure of as little as one or two months can result in mesothelioma cancer 30 or 40 years later. People exposed in the 1940s, 50s, 60s, and 70s are now being diagnosed with mesothelioma because of the long latency period of asbestos disease. It is extremely difficult to secure accurate statistics about how many individuals suffer from mesothelioma because in the early stages, the symptoms are quite similar to various other conditions. Diagnosis of asbestos mesothelioma can be difficult due to the fact that the symptoms are similar to other respiratory diseases. You should always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health professional before starting any new treatment or making any changes to an existing treatment. If you or a loved one had been diagnosed to mesothelioma cancer, may be facing the reality that mesothelioma cancer treatment is really necessary. Search for the latest treatment options and mesothelioma clinical trials information. Each mesothelioma case is considered individually and there is no right or wrong treatment for the disease. Diagnostic tools such as x-rays, MRIs, CT scans, and biopsies will be used to determine these factors and these tests will assist the doctor and/or oncologist in determining the best mesothelioma treatment for the patient in question. Your doctor will recommend one treatment or a combination of therapies that are best for your situation and overallprognosis. Even when mesothelioma treatment is possible, it is very expensive, sometimes costing between $400,000 and $800,000 for oxygen, drugs, pain medicine and other forms of treatment.

How mesothelioma lung cancer begins
Lung cancer caused by mesothelioma. Some people with only brief asbestos exposure can develop mesothelioma.Mesothelioma has a latency period of 20 to 50 years after the first exposure to asbestos.That means that if you worked around asbestos 50 years ago, you could be developing mesothelioma now. This then causes family members to become exposed to asbestos and makes those family members at risk for contracting mesothelioma also. They are three major types of mesothelioma cancer and their symptoms. 2. Peritoneal mesothelioma, which accounts for about 10-20% of cases and the cancer starts in the abdomen and stomach. The cancer begin in the abdominal part and extend to other parts of the body, but the tumors that push against the wall of the abdomen can caused symptoms such as abdominal pain, abdominal swelling, nausea, loss of appetite, vomiting, breathing problems, chest pain, bowel obstruction, anaemia, fever, and blood clotting abnormalities. 3. Pericardial mesothelioma, which is rare and starts in the heart. The tumors affect pericardial mesothelioma patients can develop bad symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, trouble breathing, persistent coughing, and palpitations.
