Pleural mesothelioma is the most common type of mesothelioma. It occurs in about 80% of all mesothelioma cases. Pleural mesothelioma attacks the lining that surrounds the lung. This lining is called the pleura and can cause fluids to build up around the lung. Normally the lung will absorb this fluid but with the presence of a mesothelioma tumor the fluid does not get reabsorbed and can cause fatigue, flu like symptoms, and muscle pains. These are the symptoms to look for in early stages of mesothelioma.
Nearly all forms of mesothelioma start in the lining of the lungs and are caused by exposure to asbestos fibers. Asbestos fibers are inhaled and then attach themselves to lung then gradually move into the pleura causing tumors to grow over the course of many years. It can take anywhere from 20-60 years for the disease to even appear. That is why senior citizens are the largest group of people to be diagnosed with mesothelioma. It does not matter what age range you fall in to, Crain-Lewis has an experienced Dallas and Houston pleural mesothelioma attorney waiting to help you in your fight with this devastating disease.

Emotional Coping
Shock or disbelief is most likely the first emotional stage you will go through. Nobody wants to hear that they have Mesothelioma, especially when they find out the cause of their Mesothelioma can date back 20 to 50 years. Because of the amount of years it takes for Mesothelioma to develop many victims initially believe the diagnosis is incorrect.
Fear or anxiety is another emotional stage you will most likely find yourself in. The fear of pain and suffering is one of the biggest fears of Mesothelioma patients and their families. You also might be anxious about the different types of treatments you will have to go through and how this is going to affect your family.

It is important to know that know matter what you are feeling there is usually someone else that has gone through it also. Mesothelioma support groups and even medication can be very effective when dealing with sadness or depression.
If you feel angry and you need to vent your feelings it is important to let your friends and family members know that the anger is not directed towards them and they do not need to try and make you feel better. Sometimes all the help you need is just to let it out.
Physical Coping
