Mesothilioma Symptoms - The "Sudden" Killer
The sudden onset of a deadly cancer is possibly the last thing on your mind when you feel "not so normal". However victims of asbestos cancer (mesothelioma) barely survive 12 months, after being diagnosed with this cancer.The two most common forms of mesothelioma have different symptoms, relating to different parts of the body. Pleural mesothilioma (present in the lining surrounding the lungs) and peritoneal mesothilioma (present in the lining surrounding the abdominal cavity and the abdominal organs) may display signs of other unrelated illnesses, however the immediate affects can be quite deadly.For instance, peritoneal mesothilioma, the rarer of the two, can lead to swelling, abdominal pain due to fluid buildup in the abdomen cavity, weight loss, bowel obstruction, abnormalities in blood clotting and fever.Symptoms of the more common pleural mesothelioma include chest pain and difficulty breathing. Occasionally other symptoms may be present, including weight loss, fever, cough and night sweats. Also occasionally a patient may be diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma before any symptoms manifest.
