It is also my opinion that mesothelioma cancer has an extremely long latency time period, which means that the signs of the disease might not exactly emerge right up until 30 to 50 years after the 1st exposure to mesothelioma. Pleural mesothelioma, that is the most common kind and influences the area about the lungs, will cause shortness of breath, torso pains, as well as a persistent coughing, which may result in coughing up our blood.
