What is Mesothelioma ?

Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is almost always caused by exposure to asbestos. Most people who develop mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they inhaled asbestos particles, or they have been exposed to asbestos dust and fiber in other ways. In this disease, malignant develop in the cellsmesothelium, a protective lining that covers most of the body's internal organs. Approximately 2,000 to 3,000 new cases of mesothelioma are diagnosed in the United States each year.

Symptoms :
Symptoms of mesothelioma may not appear until 20 to 50 years after exposure to asbestos. Shortness of breath, cough, and pain in the chest due to an accumulation of fluid in the pleural space are often symptoms of pleural mesothelioma.

Doctors typically address the cancer in terms of stages, ranging from stage one to stage four. Unfortunately, once mesothelioma cancer has reached stage three or four, treatment options not only become more limited but less effective as well.

Roger vs Roddick

Today is the great Men's Finals between Roger Federer and Andy Roddick. Roger stormed his way into the finals battling against Tommy Haas, but Roddick struggled a bit against Murray. It's the third time Roger and Roddick are going to meet in the Wimbledon Finals, Roger won the previous two meetings though. Roger Would be looking to go one better than what Pete did, a tally of 14 grand slams. But Roddick stands in between Roger and the history.

Roddick is in terrific form with his big serves in his favor. He has been able to maintain a first serve percentage of around 70%. This could prove to be a tough task for Federer to return his serves. Time will only tell the answer. Hope Roger wins...

Yesterday, in the all Williams finals, Serena won the Women's title beating her sister Venus in direct sets.

Wimbledon -The slam of slams...

This year wimbledon finals will be the best of all i believe. With men's semi-finals between Haas-Federer and Murray-Roddick, one can expect the temperatures to go up. Bookies have put a Federer vs Murray final. Federer is the favorite to win but Murray is not to be underestimated. Let's wait and see as time will tell the answer. My favorite to win wimbledon is Roger Federer.

French Open Finals

French Open 2009 witnessed one of the most brilliant semi finals in mens singles yesterday with 2 marathons being played by the best tennis players. The first match between Gonzales (Chile) and Soderling (Sweden) went to a decisive 5th set. The first 2 sets wentto soderling and the next 2 went to Gonzales. The 5th set had all the drama when Gonzales led 3-0. Then bounced bak Mr. Soderling to take the 5th set 6-4 thereby booking a berth in his first ever French Open finals.

The second match was between the 6'6" tall Argentenian Del Potro and the Swiss maestro Roger Federer. This was the most brilliant semi finals in couple of years. This was also a dramatic 5-setter. Potro's service was lightning fast at around 210 kmph for which Roger had no answer. Some how he found his way back and leveled at 2 sets a piece. Then came the decisive set where Roger broke earlier to lead 3-1. Then Potro broke back again to level at 3-3. Roger broke again to win the match.


Sunday will determine if Roger would level Pete's record of 14 Grand Slams and most importantly the eluding French Open. But one thing is for sure. We are in for a great treat.

NOTE
Bjorn Borg has tipped Soderling to take the French Open this time. Can Roger prove him wrong ???
