Mesothelioma

It was too late when my friend discovered that he has mesothelioma. A form of cancer of the lungs. Maybe he acquired this from his past job at the cement factory.

Coping with cancer is really difficult. And the support group is really a big help for the family and the victim of such cancer.
The damage has been done but we still have something to do with it. Because of the expensive medication of his condition, we decided to file a lawsuit to the company where he used to work and gave out information and warning to other employees working there not to threaten them but to keep them aware and they will take safety precautions. By this means, at least we can save them from having the same disease.

Leptospirosis is a bacterial disease that usually comes from sewer rats. Humans get infected by this disease when unhealed breaks in the skin, eyes or mucous membranes have contact with the urine of the animal infected by the disease.
