3. Ovarian Cancer
The connection between asbestos exposure and ovarian cancer was scientifically established in 2009. Researchers revealed that asbestos fibers can travel through the bloodstream, lymphatic system, or reproductive tract to the ovaries in women who were exposed to asbestos. Women exposed to asbestos are 77 percent more likely to develop ovarian cancer than other women, according to medical literature.
My husband was diagnosed with asbestosis last fall. Is there a prognosis from this? I once read that, once diagnosed, a ten year span of degenerative lung problems can be expected, ending with death. Have I more to look forward to or is this about it?
I worked for a asbestos company for 25years most in a works office. I had to walk through the works every day. I’ve recently been diagnosed with Broncichaosis could this have anything to do with where i worked.
I am a second generation asbestos victim..my father died of mesothelioma…I have pleural plaque in both lungs…and experiencing the bone on bone shoulder rubbing (as you called it)…I am seeing an orthopedic Dr. for the shoulder pain…but never connected it to asbestos until I saw this article…I would like to know more and show this to my Doctor…
We hope that you are able to get more information from our website and that your doctor can help you.
Corrected spelling of my name from previous comment…
