Bonnie Anderson filed the lawsuit against Exxon after she contracted mesothelioma, a cancer that attacks the lining of the lungs and other internal organs.  Anderson claims that she contracted the cancer either from working for the company for 12 years or from washing her husband's clothes while he worked at Exxon from 1969 to 2003.  Anderson's husband was also awarded $500,000.

David Chesser, a firefighter from Beaumont, Texas, recently returned to work after suffering from mesothelioma for the past fourteen months. 

Unfortunately, firefighters are often exposed to mesothelioma-causing airborne asbestos particles on the job.  Also, while treatments like surgery or chemotherapy can help mesothelioma, mesothelioma does not have a cure.  

While fighting mesothelioma, Chesser was promoted to district fire chief but was unable to be there, so his wife stood in for him.  Now, after fourteen months of treatment Chesser returned to the job he loves and stated, "I wanted to be back with these guys.  I didn't want the cancer to make me quit my job".
