Blogs are written for different reasons some are for fun and some are for information and this one id for awareness. There is a disease out there called mesothelioma. What is actually is would be a cancer. It effects mostly people over 55 years of age. The leading cause of this disease is exposure to asbestos. There is a 30 year period between exposure and the tumors and that is why it is ususally the older that fall victim. It effects men more then women but both are able to get it through exposure to asbestos. There are some cases that have been diagnosed where there was no direct exposure but they had family members that were exposed. Some of the symptoms are chest pains and shortness of breath. Tests are done to check for a collection of fluid between the lungs and chest which is usually bloody. Once given the prognosis of Mesothelioma there is about a year survival rate. This is a rare disease but it is a fatal one. We need to be informed of how important awareness is on this deadly disease.

I am so glad that they are starting to put commercials on the TV to bring awareness to different types of illnesses. So often people feel so alone when they are in the throws of an illness. I was watching a show when suddenly an ad came on about Mesothelioma. We hadnt heard of this before and then we realized how important knowledge is however you get it. Knowledge truly is power! This is where the power of google comes into place, find the word or close to it and pop it in the browser and you will have the Mesothelioma information at snap of a finger.

As life progresses we realize that we are on this place called earth for a short time. The better you can take care of you body the longer you will remain in this world. But sometimes you can run into snags in life. These can be from accidents, hereditary issues, catching germs or even getting mesothelioma. This is the kind of things that happen to you in business or on the internet. You work and work to do what you need to do to keep things working but natural or family disasters can be a speed bump can change your direction and cash flow. One of my problems ran back in the early ninties with the Gulf war took place, this was the major bump that reduced my karate business to just another business falling down. We know each 24 hour days means another day down, when one day we will have to pay the piper.  I am not counting myself out for another seventy-five years.
