Asbestos Cancer

Asbestos exposure can cause cancer and Mesothelioma is the most common form of cancer caused by asbestos.  There are a lot of Asbestos related cancer or asbestos cancer such as lung cancer, gastrointestinal cancer and colorectal cancer or colon cancer.   Good thing asbestos are now banned form most countries.

In the Philippines a proposed law banning the importation, manufacture, processing or distribution in commerce of asbestos-containing products has been pending with the Senate Committee on Trade and Commerce since 29 August 2007.   I hope it gets passed and becomes a law.

No Cure

Mesothelioma is a rare cancer caused by extreme exposure to asbestos.  Asbestos is a strong, fire-resistant, flexible and a good thermal insulator mostly used for construction materials. There is still no cure for it, just like the Kawasaki disease.  I have  friend whose daughter has a Kawasaki disease.  He have told me stories of his pain seeing his daughter suffer knowing that there is still no cure for it.  I pray no new disease shall develop.
