Mesothelioma Resources:

Mesothelioma is a cancer of the lining of the lung caused by exposure to asbestos. Due to the long latency period of this disease, people who worked in environments containing asbestos during 1940-1970 are now being diagnosed with mesothelioma (https://www.mesotheliomahelp.org/mesothelioma/prognosis/). For more information about mesothelioma treatment, please visit the Mesothelioma & Asbestos Awareness Centre.
