    Wendi, I'd like to take the opportunity to congratulate you to this informatiove blog. I am not affected by mesothelioma, however, I was diagnosed with Renal Cell Carcinoma in October of 2009 - seven months after my wife got diagnosed with breast cancer.
    According to my oncologist, my kidney cancer could have started already 20 years back ago. I wondered what back then could have potentially triggered the development of my cancer. And then I recalled that over rather long stretch of time used to help my father insulationg our house - with drywall-like asbestos sheets. I remember vividly that neither my father nor I wore any protection gear as we cut, trimmed and mounted the sheets on to the walls.
    Of course, I do have no prove if my cancer was caused by the exposure to asbestos, like mesothelioma. But it could be a lead.
    Anyway, thanks again for this great blog and please stop by my website if you like: www.mykidneycancer.com/mesothelioma
    Thank you.
