Mesothelioma Claims | Waldrons Solicitors

What is mesothelioma?

Like asbestosis, mesothelioma symptoms appear gradually over time. However, in addition to asbestosis symptoms, mesothelioma symptoms in the lungs or stomach can include:

A high temperature and sweating, especially during the night;
Loss of appetite and unexpected weight loss;
Feeling or being sick;
Stomach pain or swelling; or
Diarrhea or constipation.

The prognosis is poor because it often doesn’t cause any visible symptoms until the disease is well-advanced. From that stage, the disease can progress quickly.
