Senate Agreeing to Asbestos
Trust Increase
The Senate panel has agreed to increase the size of
the asbestos trust to an amount as high as $153 billion
to end all asbestos lawsuits. The main disagreement
regarding the asbestos fund would be what types of payments
will be made to asbestos exposed people that are now
suffering deadly diseases as a result. If the trust
passes, the asbestos settlement will be the second largest
of all time following the tobacco settlement in 1998.

Mesothelioma
Symptoms
Illness
and symptoms do not occur directly following exposure to asbestos,
there is usually a long period of time between exposure to
the asbestos and the appearance of the disease. Early stage
symptoms can be confused with other illnesses or attributed
to lifestyle issues like obesity, smoking, or physical inactivity.
If you have been exposed to asbestos you should let your doctor
know, especially since mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer.
People with mesothelioma might notice pain or sensation
of heaviness  or
fullness in their chest or abdomen. Shortness
of breath is typical when pleural tissue is involved and
swelling of the abdomen if the peritoneal tissue is involved.
Typical symptoms of mesothelioma include chest pain, shortness
of breath, coughing, weight loss, and sexual dysfunction.
Some people may experience deformation of the chest wall and
abdominal masses that may obstruct the bowel in later stages
of the disease.
If
you, or someone you know, has been exposed to asbestos
and would like to know the legal rights involved, please
feel free to contact a Mesothelioma
