W.R. Grace to Continue Operating Asbestos Medical Program

Friday, April 18th, 2008
.!.

W.R. Grace announced last week that it will continue to operate a medical program designed for the victims of asbestos exposure in Libby, despite their proposed $3 billion settlement.

The Vice President of Grace announced that they intend to continue the medical program as the company recovers from bankruptcy.

The program has been in effect since 2000 and has over 800 residents of Libby enrolled. Over $14 million has been spent in order to treat asbestos related illnesses in the area of Libby.

Despite continuing the program, complaints have arisen regarding its reliability. Patients have stated that they are consistently denied important services. Reports have been made that supplemental oxygen, to help patient’s breathe, is commonly denied by the program.

W.R. Grace was accused of purposefully exposing employees and near-by residents of a mine to asbestos.

Lung Damage 25 years after exposure to Asbestos

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

          I recently read an article published in Medical News and Health News which I printed up for a friend of mine in Port Lavaca, Texas which pretty much explains to him why some people eventually develop lung cancer 25 years after being exposed to asbestos fibers and materials while working in a plant environment.

        My friend’s dad worked as a painter and sandblaster for many years prior to his retirement.  Radiological studies were performed on him which indicated low levels of exposure to asbestos fibers.  This past month the dad began exhibiting symptoms of back pain so he paid a visit to his general physician.  The physician recommended an MRI (magnetic resonance image) Test be performed, and the results were positive for lung cancer, severe scarring, thickening of the membrane that lines the chest wall, and the doctor scheduled him for chemotherapy the following Monday.  Unfortunately, the condition was so severe, he died a couple of days after being diagnosed of lung cancer.

           For this reason I feel it’s extremely important for people who have been exposed to asbestos to continue seeing their physician on a regular basis and request follow-up studies be performed to evaluate and diagnose any harmful changes occurring in your body, and hopefully it will save your life.

New Study Indicates Drug May Prevent Mesothelioma

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

A new study conducted in Switzerland shows how asbestos fibers trigger immune system proteins which is what sets off chronic inflammation. As a way to prevent the chronic inflammation, a common drug used to treat arthritis may help to prevent the lung problems that are caused by asbestos exposure.

Despite the knowledge that asbestos exposure causes damage to the lungs, scientists have not been able to demonstrate how the damage occurs. The research from the study indicates that prolonged inflammation caused by proteins that were triggered by asbestos fibers result in lung scarring and cancer.

A rheumatoid arthritis drug, Anakinra, is being studied as a way to prevent the inflammation that causes lung damage. In addition, testing for elevated proteins may help doctor’s identify if a patient is at risk for serious lung diseases caused by asbestos exposure.

Despite the link to inflammatory proteins, the research was not able to identify exactly how asbestos causes cancer. More research is still needed to draw conclusive information.
