Mesothelioma


There are many forms of cancer that can cause hair loss.

A common form of cancer is mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is a cancer of the mesothelium. It’s a man-made cancer caused by the inhalation of asbestos. Basically, the cells of the mesothelium become abnormal and begin to divide without any order or control.

Although this cancer is more abundant in males, it has also been found in women. Experts have found that those individuals working with asbestos or exposed to asbestos regularly are at risk of getting this disease - although mesothelioma has also been reported in some individuals without any known exposure to asbestos.

What is asbestos exactly? Well, it’s basically a group of minerals that occur naturally as strong flexible fibers. Asbestos is commonly found in many industrial products such as brake linings, cement, textiles, roof shingles and insulation. When the tiny asbestos particles float in the air, particularly during the manufacturing process of many materials and products, it can be harmful if inhaled or swallowed. This can lead to serious health problems such as this form of cancer – mesothelioma.

Women who have experienced this dreadful disease have had to suffer with the consequences of a weakened immune system, fatigue, illness, chemotherapy and hair loss. Their loss of hair can be very devastating as a woman’s hair is her crowning glory.

If suffering with this disease it’s extremely important to have a support system of good friends and family who can help in these troubled times.

Here are some recommendations for dealing with hair loss and illness caused by mesothelioma:

  • Purchase wigs to cover up hair loss. Many cancer sufferers complain about feeling uncomfortable wearing wigs because they may feel hot. However, many manufacturers have now developed wigs with hair-net type fittings that allow the skin to breathe.
  • Join support groups for cancer sufferers where you can talk and gain support from others suffering with the disease.
  • Add blush, concealer and some lipstick to add extra color to your face.
  • Eat healthy! Follow the recommendations of your doctor and nutritionist.
  • Laugh…. It’s the best form of medicine!
