Mesothelioma Website Posts New Article that Lists the Many Common Symptoms of the Disease
The Newly-Posted Article is Designed to Help People who were Exposed to Asbestos and are Now Concerned they May Have Mesothelioma
HOUSTON, June 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- According to Mesothelioma.us, an authoritative website that is full of helpful and free information about mesothelioma, symptoms of the serious disease may not appear until up to 50 years after exposure to asbestos. To help people who have worked around asbestos know if some or all of their health symptoms are linked to mesothelioma, the website has just posted a new article that outlines the exact symptoms people should look for.
As the new article on http://mesothelioma.us/ explained, around 15 percent of mesothelioma cases are discovered when the cancer is still in its early stages. Unfortunately, in most instances the cancer has spread throughout the body, and overall, the 5-year survival rate is only around 14 percent.
In many cases, mesothelioma is discovered purely by accident during other medical tests for seemingly unrelated medical conditions. As the new article on Mesothelioma.us notes, this is why being aware of the symptoms is so crucial.
"Although symptoms from mesothelioma do not normally occur until cancer has spread too far to be cured, there have been occurrences when symptoms occur in some patients early," the article said, adding that prompt attention to any troubling or recurrent symptoms can result in early diagnosis and treatment can result in a cure for some patients.
"However, for others, this can improve their chances of treatment extending their life, as well as relief of some of the symptoms.
The most common symptoms of mesothelioma include a persistent cough, chest pains which often become worse during deep breathing, a hoarse voice, weight loss, shortness of breath, rust-colored sputum, wheezing, and recurring cases of pneumonia and bronchitis. When the mesothelioma has already spread to other parts of the body, the patient may also experience pain in the bones, dizziness, jaundice and masses in the lymph nodes, the new article noted.
