Did you know that mesothelioma is a type of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos? I didn’t. In fact, until today I had never heard of mesothelioma. The bad news is that, like all other cancers, there’s no cure, but there are Mesothelioma treatments available. It’s sad to me because just think about how many people were regularly and routinely exposed to asbestos before someone figured out it had serious repercussions to your health? It’s everywhere. Just recently, they demolished a very old, long standing building on my college campus because it would cost too much to remove the asbestos, and repair the damage to the building. There is also a section of tiles in the building where I work that they can’t remove because of the asbestos in them. Scary.
