This is just not my day. I’ve talked to my aunt this morning and I’ve just learned that my cousin (her son) has abdominal cancer or as the doctors termed it, “Abdominal Mesothelioma”. My cousin worked in construction and was often assigned in fieldwork. Being in construction, he was exposed to a material called asbestos, which is often used in this kind of industry. As it turned out, exposure to this kind of material, especially if inhailed or ingested may cause the development of malignant cells which eventually may lead to cancer. What was scary in my cousin’s situation was he was first misdiagnosed since the symptoms of the cancer was similar to that of intestinal flu. Luckily, he went to another doctor to get a second opinion. They were still able to detect the cancer in its early stage which is a good thing because chances of recovery are larger when early detected.  I felt really bad for him. He was such a good person and doesn’t deserve a blow like this. I’ll be constantly praying for him and hope that .he will recover soon.
