Mesothelioma Lawyer Help

Mesothelioma is an aggressive form of cancer, and its most common cause is exposure to asbestos. If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you need to move quickly to understand your treatment options and find the best possible plan. At the same time, you should analyze your legal options.

The company or companies that exposed you to asbestos need to be held accountable for the damage they've done to you and your family. Treatment for mesothelioma is expensive. Other ways asbestos exposure can cost you include:

Lost wages • Pain and suffering • Emotional damages • Loss of earning capacity

These, combined with your current and future medical bills, can leave you and your family in a terrible position. By working with the skilled attorneys at Gori Julian & Associates, P.C., you may be able to collect full compensation. That will allow you to focus on getting the best possible treatment.

"If I ever come in contact with someone that needs assistance with this bad killer disease I'll make sure to recommend your firm highly! You guys are THE BEST! Thank you again. I know no amount of money in the world would ever compensate my loss but at least the companies have to pay for their sins." - David

Diagnosis and Treatment of Mesothelioma

Because the symptoms of mesothelioma are common to a wide range of other illnesses and diseases — the cancer may have progressed to an advanced stage by the time a diagnosis is made.

The first steps include a careful review of the patient's medical history and potential sources of asbestos exposure link to the asbestos connection. Next, a thorough physical examination will need to be done. This may include:

• X-rays of the chest or abdomen
• Lung function or breathing tests
• A complete blood count (CBC)
• Computed tomography (CT) scans
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
• Biopsies of affected tissues

Because mesothelioma is usually not diagnosed until the disease is already well-established, treatment options may be limited. Treatment options may include:

• Surgery
• Radiation therapy
• Chemotherapy
• Photodynamic therapy
• Gene therapy
• Alternative medicine approaches

In most cases, a combination of two or more of these options will be used together, depending on the age and general health of the patient, as well as on the type, location and stage of the cancer.
