I remember a few days ago I heard that Dame Maggie Smith also known as Professor McGonagall from the movie Harry Potter is battling with breast cancer. That is so sad. Earlier I received another sad news from my friend. Her dad is suffering from mesothelioma, a cancer. At first I didn’t know what kind of cancer it is that until she explained it..
Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is almost always caused by exposure to asbestos. Most people who develop mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they inhaled asbestos particles, or they have been exposed to asbestos dust and fiber in other ways. Her dad worked in a factory for almost 20 years before retiring. I hope he will be okay. It’s not easy to see someone that you know battles with cancer. I had experinced it. The whole family will be affected and your normal life will never be the same again. 
I’ve read from Wikipedia that it has also been suggested that washing the clothes of a family member who worked with asbestos can put a person at risk for developing mesothelioma. Unlike lung cancer, there is no association between mesothelioma and smoking, but smoking greatly increases risk of other asbestos-induced cancer. What a scary thing! :??
