Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that develops from the thin layer of tissue that covers many of the internal organs. The most common area affected is the lining of the lungs and chest wall.
It is mostly caused by exposure to Asbestos. Asbestos is the material commonly used to make roofing materials here in Nigeria.
A lot of people have been exposed to it either at their work place or by living with people who are exposed to it frequently; even washing the clothes of a person exposed to it is very risky.
Signs and symptoms of mesothelioma may include shortness of breath due to fluid around the lung, a swollen abdomen, chest wall pain, cough, feeling tired, and weight loss.
Prevention centers around reducing exposure to asbestos. Treatment often includes surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
How does it affect musicians?
when you’re invited to play in some club and your drummer is banging on the ceiling pipes, you could be getting exposed. There are many other ways by which musicians could get exposed to asbestos. We can’t be too careful and that is why some people want asbestos banned from usage.
There are mesothelioma compensation agencies that fight for those who suffer from the disease. The help them get their mesothelioma settlement fund.
There are other people from other occupations that suffer from this cancer; lawyers, engineers, drivers and so on. Our focus today shall be on musicians that died from Mesothelioma and asbestos exposure.

Christie Hennessy
