Symptoms of mesothelioma include:
*Shortness of breath
*Chest pains
*Abdominal pain and/or swelling
*Weight loss
*Decreased appetite
*Night sweats
Mesothelioma is diagnosed by a tissue biopsy. And since diagnosis is typically made too late, most people will die from the disease within one year of diagnosis.

No, smokers cannot get mesothelioma. It is mainly caused by asbestos exposure. The fibers of asbestos which are inhaled through the mouth and nose will become embedded in the lining of the lungs causing damage which results in lung cancer or asbestosis.
