Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is almost always caused by previous exposure to asbestos. In this disease, malignant cells develop in the mesothelium, a protective lining that covers most of the body's internal organs.

 I have been working at the same law firm now for just over three years (started December 2004). The day I was hired I was assured that they did "yearly reviews and raises". In November of 2006 I went to the partners and asked about a possible review, which was done. Quite a good review, a few mild notes of constructive criticism, which I gladly accepted. Minimal raise and no mention of extra vacation time. Now it is 2008 and not another word has been spoken about the "yearly reviews and raises".

Radiation therapy

This slide show from the Mayo Clinic will guide you through the process of planning for radiation therapy.
