Mesothelioma Cancer

A few years ago I worked for a personal injury firm and we did mostly toxic tort cases. I worked on the asbestos cases and it was hard work. Not physically grueling, more like mentally draining. I had a client who was only 45 years old. She had mesothelioma and had been given six months to live. She was determined to fight for her life and had several surgeries in order to prolong her life. She had a lung removed and several other follow up surgeries. She lived an extra 22 months after her diagnoses. Even though she was of no relation to me, her death hit me hard. It was like that will all of my clients. It was hard to get up every morning and part of your job is to check the obituaries to make sure none of your clients have died. Mesothelioma is a terrible cancer, one that too few people know about.
