There is an upsurge in a serious form of cancer, mesothelioma, which is caused by asbestos.
Why do we still have this? Hasn’t all the asbestos been safely removed from our buildings already?
My uncle died from something like this about twenty years ago. Back then the cancer was only vaguely tied to asbestos, and he had been a construction worker and drywaller for decades. I guess it used to be pretty dangerous to build houses.
There are some pretty hopeful treatments these days, but mesothelioma is a really nasty cancer. Our scientists are working on it, and there seems to be some room for hope.

School went really well. My assignments were all done and I was up to speed in Spanish class. Then when I got home I had a message from the mammogram folks, they want to look at the right breast again. So I go in Tuesday afternoon. They are going to do an ultrasound. I guess it’s more thorough. Hank the Cow Dog stepped on my right breast the other day while we were wrestling on the bed. IT HURT!!! But it should be okay by Tuesday. Good enough to smash it again if that’s what they want to do. I don’t think ultrasounds squeeze like mammograms do, but I don’t know.
Guess I could google it.
I been looking at female supplements lately, too. ephedra pills is a big thing on the web up in those sites, I thought they used ephedra substitutes these days, but it looks available.
Then my niece was down in Mesa and somehow the voice mail didn’t have her message on from yesterday (we had a power hiccup, because all the clocks were blinking). So I didn’t know where she was until today and they are leaving , probably already gone by now. No way for me to go see them and I guess they couldn’t take the time to drive by my house on their way out of town. Though you know they had to pass within a mile of my house. … I just cried. After i hung up of course. What a weird day.
