Cancer Isn’t Newsworthy Anymore?

In todays day, and age you read about all sorts of lawsuits that are going on.  Some have to do with injuries, and some have to do with other things.  Everyone is out to get a fast buck no matter who is actually at fault.   The things that you don’t read about are lawsuits dealing with cancer from asbestos.  This is known as Mesothelioma.  These people deserve to receive money for what has happened.    Back some time ago I remember reading about these cases on almost a daily basis.  Well, that is not true anymore.

This is from the National Cancer Institute… “Mesothelioma (cancer of the mesothelium) is a disease in which cells of the mesothelium become abnormal and divide without control or order. They can invade and damage nearby tissues and organs. Cancer cells can also metastasize (spread) from their original site to other parts of the body. Most cases of mesothelioma begin in the pleura or peritoneum.”

Being as it is more than possible for it to become a malignant mesothelioma I would have thought there would be more of these lawsuits in the public eye.  I would have thought this because people want to prove things to the workplace that this happened in so that it doesn’t happen again, and also for some sort of payment because most people with mesothelioma will never get rid of it.

I feel bad for people that have cancer, no matter what type.  Cancer is something that is plaguing our world.

The Debate – Alcohol or Smoking

I am a smoker, and I do not drink.  I am not bias in either situation.  I choose not to drink because one of my previous jobs showed me what alcohol can do to a life.

The government has brainwashed everyone to fully believe that smoking is bad.  While this may be true, they don’t brainwash anyone about the truly harmful “Alcohol.”  Being that there are no actual “set in standard” statistics for either incident there are many sources that can show statistics that they have compiled.

While smoking causes “First Hand”, and “Second Hand” diseases there are many factors to take into consideration.  While cancer is not something to take lightly, there is no puplicly shared hard proofed data regarding deaths caused by “smoking.”  They can say someone died from cancer, but I have yet to read “died from smoking.”

In my area of the globe we have a town that had a cancer outbreak that was apparently linked to a company with initials CG.  Cancer has been suspectedly linked to automotive exhaust, drinking, and quite a few more things.
