In honor of my Pete and Lung Cancer Awareness month, I was asked by the Mesothelioma Cancer Alliance to share some info about the disease on my blog. I have to admit that I knew nothing about Mesothelioma or its origins, but now that I do, my stance has changed from one of passive bystander to activist. The harsh reality is that asbestos, the cause of Mesothelioma, is still commonly used in the US. There is still work to be done to ban this harmful compound from use in this country. Please read this article and get informed about the cause of this common and preventable form of cancer and help me spread the word.
If you would like more information you can contact the Mesothelioma Cancer Alliance.
