Symptoms include chest pain, shortness of breath, coughing, difficulty swallowing, and weight loss.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Peritoneal mesothelioma<\/strong> attacks the stomach and causes abdominal pain and swelling.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pericardial mesothelioma<\/strong> is the rarest form of mesothelioma and affects the lining of the heart and surrounding areas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><a name=\"mesothelioma-prognosis\"><\/a>WHAT\u2019S THE PROGNOSIS FOR MESOTHELIOMA?<\/h3>\n<p>By the time mesothelioma symptoms appear, the disease is usually in an advanced stage and has spread to nearby lymph nodes and other organs. Depending on the severity of their cancer and how far it has spread in their bodies, some patients may live for less than a year after their diagnosis.<\/p>\n<h3><a name=\"mesothelioma-progress\"><\/a>HOW DOES MESOTHELIOMA PROGRESS?<\/h3>\n<p>Like other cancers, progression of mesothelioma is marked by four stages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Stage I<\/strong>In the beginning, mesothelioma is only present in the pleura\u2014the lining of the chest or abdominal wall\u2014and also may develop in the diaphragm on the affected side of the body.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stage II<\/strong>At stage II, the cancer starts to spread and may affect the esophagus, heart, and lymph nodes in the chest.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stage III<\/strong>By stage III, cancer cells begin to penetrate the chest wall and diaphragm into the abdomen. Mesothelioma may be detected in lymph nodes throughout the body.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stage IV<\/strong>During the final stages of the disease, the cancer spreads to other major organs in the abdomen and chest.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><a name=\"mesothelioma-lawyer\"><\/a>HOW CAN A LAWYER HELP WITH MY MESOTHELIOMA CASE?<\/h3>\n<p>A Houston mesothelioma lawyer from Terry Bryant can help you and your family determine when and where your exposure to asbestos might have taken place.
