Mesothelioma:I had rare Mesothelioma cells found?
Filed in Mesothelioma Info on Apr.11, 2010
I had rare mesothelial cells found in some fluid taken out of the area around my lungs. No malignant cells were seen. I have scaring seen in X rays of my lungs. I just found out that I was most likely exposed to asbestos for several years of ceiling replacement work I did. Does anyone know if I am heading for mesothelioma? Is there anything I can do to prevent it?

Asbestos exposure does increase your risk of mesothelioma (and of lung cancer – MUCH MORE so if you also smoke). If no malignant cells were found there is yet no sign of a clear mesothelioma but your pleural fluid with mesothelial cells must be regarded as a warning sign. There is unfortunately no preventive therapy.

You cannot prevent mesothelioma, not after you have inhaled asbestos. There is no way to remove it from your body. It takes about 25 years to manifest and not everyone who is exposed to asbestos gets mesothelioma. You would expect to find mesothelium cells around the mesothelium. You should always direct questions to your doctor.

It’s always best to check with your doctor to be sure. There isn’t an effective preventive after asbestos inhalation from what I understand.
