Did you know that the mesothelioma life expectancy is about 1 year from diagnoses? Although some people who have mesothelioma have lived up to 5 years. Asbestos is the common cause of mesothelioma and more men get this type of cancer then women, because they tend to work in the higher risks professions. Typically people over 50 tend to get it and it is often misdiagnosed with the flu. Each year 2,000-4,000 people get it and this disease is always terminal.

I was browsing the net looking for some information on a project I am a working on and came across a site that talks about mesothelioma (an asbestos caused cancer). They are offering a free guide for those who are affected by the disease and even for those people who may know someone who has the disease. I also saw that they have a community forum, blog and you can even talk to someone live on their site. This is a very serious illness that affects more people then you can think of. You would think that asbestos does not exists anymore, but it still does they even closed a college building in North Carolina because they found it in the building. Its really something to think about.
