Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma is unique to those who have been exposed to asbestos. Those most at risk of developing mesothelioma are people who have worked with or around asbestos or products containing it, and family members and housewives that have laundered work clothes or visited worksites. People who live near industrial plants where asbestos was used are also at risk. There is no known "safe" level of exposure to asbestos, as both long-term exposure to low levels of asbestos and short-term contact with high levels of asbestos can cause harm. Because many older buildings contain asbestos in their ceiling material, walls, or flooring, people who live, work, or attend school in such buildings for a long period of time may also be exposed to dangerous levels of asbestos. If you have directly or indirectly been exposed to asbestos, you should seek a medical evaluation immediately to determine if you have developed mesothelioma. If you have received a positive diagnosis of mesothelioma or asbestos lung cancer and are a resident of Pennsylvania or New Jersey, a mesothelioma and lung cancer attorney from our firm will work relentlessly to achieve the compensation you deserve. Types of Mesothelioma Mesothelioma is a cancer that manifests in the mesothelium. The mesothelium is a two-layer membrane that surrounds and protects the body's internal organs. A lubricating fluid is secreted between the two layers so that internal organs such as the heart and lungs can move easily within the body. It is theorized that when needle-like asbestos fibers lodge in the mesothelium, they irritate cells and cause them to become cancerous, resulting in mesothelioma. There are three specific types of mesothelioma, pleural mesothelioma, peritoneal mesothelioma, and pericardial mesothelioma, all of which are explained below: Pleural Mesothelioma The mesothelium that lines the inner rib cage and the outside of the lungs is known as the pleura. When asbestos is inhaled, the tiny fibers travel to the pleura and cause the cells to become cancerous. Pleural mesothelioma is the most common form of the cancer. Symptoms can take 10 to 50 years to become evident, so diagnosis is often made during a routine exam when no symptoms are present. Symptoms, when they do appear, include chest pains, breathing difficulties, lower-back pain, fever, and persistent cough. Peritoneal Mesothelioma When a tumor develops on the mesothelial membrane that surrounds the internal organs of the abdomen, it is known as peritoneal mesothelioma. The only known cause of this type of mesothelioma is asbestos exposure. Like pleural mesothelioma, symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma can take decades to manifest, and detection often comes during an exam for an unrelated condition. As the tumor develops, it can put pressure on other internal organs, including the lungs, and can cause extreme abdominal pain. Other symptoms include weight loss, nausea, fatigue, abdominal bloating, and fever. Pericardial Mesothelioma Pericardial mesothelioma attacks the mesothelium surrounding the heart. It is the rarest form of mesothelioma, occurring in about 5 percent of cases. Asbestos fibers travel from the lungs to the mesothelial tissue that surrounds the heart, where they lodge and cause cancerous tumors to form. As the tumors expand, they can restrict functioning of the heart and cause cardiac problems, including cardiac failure. Symptoms of pericardial mesothelioma include irregular heartbeat, chest pain, loss of appetite, hypertension, and fatigue. Because mesothelioma symptoms take so long to appear, often by the time the disease is diagnosed, the prognosis for the patient is not good. However, when mesothelioma is caught in time, treatment options do exist. If you have had prolonged exposure to asbestos in the past, or have worked in a trade at risk for asbestos exposure in which you had contact with asbestos-containing products, we urge you to seek a physical exam immediately and report your asbestos exposure to your physician. Asbestos Lung Cancer In addition to mesothelioma, asbestos exposure can also cause lung cancer. Inhaled asbestos fibers cannot be eliminated by the body, and so they remain in the lungs. Smokers who have been exposed to asbestos may be up to 90 times more likely to develop lung cancer than nonsmokers. The majority of asbestos lung cancer cases begin in the lining of the main bronchial tubes, however, this type of cancer can also start in the trachea (wind pipe), smaller airways (bronchioles), and even the air sacs within the lungs called the alveoli. Much like mesothelioma, asbestos lung cancer develops slowly and cells have the potential to spread to other areas of the body. Please call us to set up a free consultation. Luke T.

Asbestos-Mesothelioma and Lung Cancer

Asbestos-Mesothelioma and Lung Cancer Your Exposure Your Health Your Rights YOU MAY HAVE BEEN EXPOSED ASBESTOS AND DON'T KNOW THIS. Asbestos is a mineral which was used for its heat resistant and strength qualities. It was used by many trades in numerous products and even household products. Asbestos causes Mesothelioma and Lung Cancer. Mesothelioma is a very rare form of cancer whose only know cause in the United States is asbestos exposure. It takes from 10 to 60 years or longer after the first exposure to asbestos for a person to develop Mesothelioma. Short term, intense exposure may cause Mesothelioma many years later. Research by the EPA has concluded that any asbestos exposure may be sufficient to cause disease. WHO IS AT RISK? People who worked directly with or around asbestos such as insulators, shipyard, refinery, maintenance, building trades, and utility workers, military personnel, auto mechanics and others are at risk for developing Mesothelioma and Lung Cancer. This is known as occupational exposure. Other people at risk are the spouses and children of those who worked with asbestos and brought asbestos home on their clothing. People, such as school teachers and office workers, who worked in buildings which contained asbestos are also at risk. These are known as household, non-occupational or indirect exposures and are similar to second-hand smoke. People who performed or were present during residential and commercial building construction, renovations and remodeling are also at risk for developing Mesothelioma and Lung Cancer. People who lived or worked near an asbestos mining or manufacturing facility are also at risk. It is important to determine how, when and where you were exposed to asbestos. WHAT ARE YOUR MEDICAL OPTIONS? MESOTHELIOMA: is a cancer of the lining of the chest, the lining of the abdominal cavity or the lining of the heart. Presently, there is no known cure for Mesothelioma. However, there are treatments that may improve the quality and quantity of life for people with Mesothelioma. TREATMENTS FOR MESOTHELIOMA include: Chemotherapy Radiation Therapy Surgery Palliative Therapy Experimental Therapies Lung Cancer: is a cancer of the lung and air passages. Cigarette smoking and asbestos exposure combined to increase a person's risk of developing Lung Cancer by 50-90 times. Treatment options are similar to those for Mesothelioma. SYMPTOMS IF YOU OR SOMEONE CLOSE TO YOU IS PRESENTLY EXPERIENCING OR HAS EXPERIENCED: SHORTNESS OF BREATH PAIN IN THE SHOULDERS, SIDE, BACK, CHEST OR ABDOMEN PERSISTENT COUGH OR HOARSENESS UNINTENTIONAL WEIGHT LOSS UNUSUAL FATIGUE DIFFICULTY SWALLOWING DRENCHING NIGHT SWEATS UNEXPLAINED FEVERS NAUSEA, VOMITING OR LOSS OF APPETITE REDUCED ACTIVITY TOLERANCE CONTACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY. A CHEST X-RAY, CT SCAN, MRI OR PET SCAN CAN OFTEN DETERMINE THE PRESENCE OF MESOTHELIOMA AND LUNG CANCER LEGAL OPTIONS If you have been diagnosed with Mesothelioma or Lung Cancer, you may have legal rights to sue the manufacturers, distributors, and suppliers of the asbestos products for your injuries. Also, you may have legal rights to sue the contractors who installed and or/removed asbestos products as well as your employer. In many situations, the family of a deceased person may bring a lawsuit for personal injuries and/or wrongful death. Be aware that each state has a time period, known as statute of limitations, within which a person or the estate of the deceased person must file a lawsuit to be entitled to monetary compensation or be forever barred from any recovery. Each state has it's own law regarding the time period to file a lawsuit and those laws are strictly enforced. Please call LT Pepper Law for a free consulation. 267.626.7546

Flag this message February 2010 Workshops & Webinars for CPAs and Attorneys

I am pleased to announce that McDevitt & Kline, LLC (www.ceworkshops.com) received approval by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court CLE Board to offer Distance Courses to attorneys in the state. PA attorneys may now view our courses from the comfort of their homes and offices!

We will be kicking-off the 2010 season on February 26th and February 27th with “Secrets to Becoming a More Confident and Capable Communicator” presented by Ellen C. Kolodziej. Ellen teaches public speaking at La Salle University and runs her own public relations company. Former Eagles football player Vai Sikehema says "Ellen is a great speaking coach because she's done it." John Haigis, an attorney who recently took this workshop, describes it as "an enjoyable seminar, which focuses on ways to concentrate on, and convey, your message. I wasn't sure I could learn anything new here, but I was wrong." In addition to learning how to polish-up your presentation skills, you'll receive tips from an expert on how to get media coverage and how to prepare for interviews.

These courses will be offered in both a live classroom and live webcast format. Visit www.ceworkshops.com for additional information or call me directly at 267-415-4414.

Respectfully,

Luke T. Pepper
