Frankly much blurred together, forms were basically the same; offices decorated innocuously, questions asked in that medically neutral professional voice ? with one curious exception the word, asbestos. I kept being asked about any history with asbestos. (If it wasn't all so cancer-somber it actually reminded me of the ultimate seemingly incongruous line, "One Word: Plastics" from the movie The Graduate.)
?Maybe you can help us spread mesothelioma cancer awareness ??
Her email also jogged my memory about my thoracic surgeon mentioning Pinnacle Hospital launching a program earlier in the year offering free lung cancer screening for 100 area Firefighters. Exposure to asbestos I was told is an occupational hazard for many professions including 'first responders' and increases the risk of lung cancer and mesothelioma (a word that at the time went in one ear and out the other because it did not apply to me personally).
What?s the difference and why does it matter? Click and read, personally I find starting with first person stories from those surviving or caregiving ? a better place to start.
