How to Choose a Mesothelioma Lawyer

Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that gets its name from the fact that it originates in the mesothelium, which is a thin layer of cells that line the organs of the body.

This cancer most commonly forms in the lining of the lungs but can also be found in the lining of the heart and abdomen.

Mesothelioma is caused when asbestos fibers are inhaled.

Chest pain and shortness of breath are some of the first signs of mesothelioma.

For most people who are diagnosed with this disease, life expectancy is rarely more than a year past their diagnosis, with treatment options such as radiation, chemotherapy, and/or surgery.

Treatment for this cancer is long, expensive, and very hard on the patient physically and emotionally.
