What is Mesothelioma?

I have some information from this site but not clear enough to understand http://mesotheliomaasbestosinfo.blogspot...

Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is almost always caused by previous exposure to asbestos.

it's a rare form of lung cancer that is linked to asbestos exposure.

Asbestos Poisoning.

The web site just about says it all, what do you want to know that is not there?

Looks pretty clear to me. How old are you? The words you don't understand, look them up, hon. Essentially, it is a cancer of the lung, caused mostly my asbestos, and most common among those people who used asbestos in their workspace -- brake reliners in the auto industry, asbestos workers in the shipping industry, and now in places like India, where ships are sent to be dismantled--- there are no OSHA rules there, so those poor workers who find any job at all is better than starving will become victims of early lung cancer.
