A New Jersey woman was recently awarded $7 million by a jury from Exxon Mobile after contracting mesothelioma.  

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.

The youngest patient ever diagnosed with Mesothelioma had two different benefits thrown for him.  There was a bike run on Saturday, June 5 in Taylor Falls with raffles, a silent auction, a hog roast and musical entertainment.  The next day there was a benefit picnic thrown in the 12-year-old boy's honor.  Food served at the picnic included hot dogs, burgers, salads, desserts and beverages.  There were also carnival games and live entertainment was provided by several different groups.  The seventh grader received his surprising diagnosis in March of 2010.  Only three children have ever been diagnosed with mesothelioma since it is a disease that generally lays dormant for a while after exposure to asbestos. It ususally takes about 10 to 20 years to show up in adult lungs.

However, the tumors from the 12-year-old's disease were found in his abdomen, not his lungs.   The boys parents noticed that he seemed to be losing weight.  He also appeared to be tired all the time and suffered from headaches and nausea very often.  The child underwent a 13-hour long invasive surgery last month but doctor's predict that his disease will be a lifelong battle.

Four former CSX employees in Tampa, Florida have filed a lawsuit alleging the company is responsible for the asbestos-related lung cancer they have developed.

The lawsuit was filed by four men who say that over the past forty years they were never warned by CSX about the health risks associated with long term asbestos exposure. Jerry B. Brown, James R. givens, James Toombs, and William F. Triner were all diagnosed with asbestos related lung cancer between 2007 and 2009. 

Court documents show that each of the men, though working different positions at the transportation company, were required during the course of their duties to work in areas where they were "heavily exposed" to asbestos. The lawsuit claims that the company failed to provide the men with respirators or any other form of protective gear.

Asbestos exposure has been linked to mesothelioma, a rare and aggressive cancer that affects the lungs as well as other tissues in the chest and abdominal cavities.
