The Link: Breast Cancer and Asbestos - Healthy Tidbits by Peggy ...

Today I was contacted by?the Mesothelioma Center about listing a link?of theirs to our Circle of Hope website.? He liked our extensive resources section?on the website.? (I think it is at least 10 page long. ) http://www.circleofhopeduluth.org/resources.aspx

I thought it was very interesting some of the information that he send me. He?went on to say that doctors cannot clearly explain why some people develop breast cancer and others do not. But doctors have found a higher level of incidence of breast cancer among women who tested positive for the presence of asbestos. Considering the high incident of breast cancer many asbestos related cases go unnoticed. (Haven?t you always wondered why they don?t test your body for chemicals, when they know you have lots of them in your body?

Their website has 3,000 pages?of information, the?causes by asbestos exposure, including the relationships to?mesothelioma, lung cancer and breast cancer. Unlike other sites this non-profit foundation?has achieved HON code approval (Health On the Net?) that works to preserve the accuracy and trustworthiness of web-based medical information. They have a full staff?of writers dedicated to research and writing about asbestos exposure and the diseases that result from exposure to this toxic mineral. (I was thinking as I read it about my first article or two on mesothelioma?on the topic for Hometown Focus, online. I wrote the article on behalf of ACS.)

I thought it was interesting that I got a e-mail on this. Sometimes, I think I have mental telepathy.?Last week a birthday party, two of us were discussing our asbestos exposures. Ours was from removing tile from a basement floor and breathing in the dust. We don?t know enough about what we should do and not do, as consumers trying to save a buck in household repairs. ?Education on preventing asbestos exposure is important. I have a relative who got exposurd to asbestos and got breast cancer.

Their website site has studies on asbestos expoure and breast cancer.

It also has topics on?asbestos exposure and cancer from working in?shipyards,?metal workers being exposured to asbestos, power plants, chemcial plants, oil refineries, automobiles, occupation exposures, asbestos products, asbestos manufacutures, asbestos abatment, and hazardous job sites. I can?t help but think about my dad owning an oil company. We grew up with oil.

There are links to the causes of lung cancer from asbestos?and ?other types of cancer.

They do have free mesothelioma information packets that you can send for, awareness wrist bans, meosthelioma books, and even VA Benefit claims info. Check it out.
