Thanks for your handy post. As time passes, I have come to understand that the actual symptoms of mesothelioma are caused by the actual build up of fluid regarding the lining of the lung and the upper body cavity. The illness may start from the chest region and distribute to other body parts. Other symptoms of pleural mesothelioma cancer include weight-loss, severe breathing trouble, a fever, difficulty swallowing, and swelling of the neck and face areas. It ought to be noted that some people having the disease will not experience just about any serious indications at all.
