Well there are many symptoms of mesothelioma which are difficult to describe here. Some are chest pain, shortness of breath etc. You can a lot in the website given below.

Mesothelioma is mostly seen in people exposed to asbestos.Symptoms are chest pain, shortness of breath. Chest X ray shows pleural effusion, pleural thickening. Though, surgeries are tried, symptomatic treatment under observation like opiates for pain and oxygen for shortness of breath is recommended.

This is what killed Steve McQueen (Bullitt, Thomas Crown Affair, Towering Inferno, Max Brand, The Sandpiper, etc.). He got it from racing cars and not protecting himself with the appropriate breathing apparati to protect his lungs. He breathed in asbestos fibers for years and thought nothing of it. Once his health started to fail him, he sought alternative therapies in Mexico using apricot pits (bizzare but true). When he found that nothing helped, he went down pretty fast.
