Asbestos-related Illnesses:The Veteran Liaison for the Mesothelioma Cancer Center would like members to be aware of this organization devoted to assisting veterans through their application processes for VA benefits, and helping them obtain the maximum benefits for which they are entitled. He's also the Executive Director of the Veterans Assistance Network, and a retired Lieutenant Commander in the US Navy. Countless veterans are currently suffering from life-threatening illnesses that are a result of exposure to asbestos, a material that was commonly used in hundreds of military applications, products, and ships primarily because of its resistance to fire. Exposure to asbestos has proven to result in a wide range of health conditions, including mesothelioma, a deadly cancer that attacks the lining of the lungs, heart, or abdomen. This rare form of cancer is almost exclusively caused by asbestos exposure. According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, there are currently 25 million living individuals who have served in the United States' armed forces. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions of these living veterans were exposed to toxic asbestos-containing materials during military service. The Mesothelioma Center is committed to providing the latest, up-to-date information to its visitors in the hopes of spreading awareness about the dangers of mesothelioma and asbestos exposure. It provides a complete list of occupations, ships, and shipyards that could have put our Veterans at risk for developing asbestos-related diseases as well as thousands of articles on asbestos issues ranging from occupational exposure, to treatment options for peritoneal mesotheilioma and information if you’ve received a mesothelioma prognosis. |
