Man Diagnosed With Lung Cancer

By DrS

An elderly man that never smoked a day in his life and was always healthy, learned a month ago that he had mesothelioma cancer and only had a month or two to live. How was this possible he wondered? Further investigation into his background revealed the man was in the service and was a mechanic in a car dealership. As it turned out the man worked in the garage doing brake replacement and in the service, he worked in the boiler room on a naval ship.

The man had two sources of asbestos exposure in his life. Until he was diagnosed, he had been a healthy and lively man. The day he learned that he had mesothelioma cancer, was a sad day for his friends and family. They could not understand how a man that was so healthy and took care of his body and health could have this happen to him. He was given a month to get his affairs in order.

Being diagnosed with mesothelioma cancer and given only month to live is something that happens to many people that worked with or were exposed to asbestos in the earlier years before the risks of asbestos were released. Asbestos exposure and mesothelioma cancer does not discriminate. Anyone healthy or not can develop this cancer if they were exposed to asbestos.

This man has only a month to consult with mesothelioma lawyers, but he will not be around to see the settlement, but his wife and children will be able to continue the lawsuit in his place.
