Mesothelioma is a type of lung cancer. The symptoms include chest pain, wheezing, coughing with blood, hoarseness, blood clots, anemia, shortness of breath, weight loss, and fluid in the lungs. Men 50+ years of age are most likely to be diagnosed.

​

This sickness is often found in people who have worked in an asbestos mine, a factory that manufactured asbestos-related products, a construction business in which one installed or removed asbestos or in those who have lived in a town with an asbestos mine. If you are experiencing these symptoms, you should see a doctor immediately. Asbestos poisoning may not become apparent until decades after exposure.
