Asbestosis and prostate cancer

Does anyone have any medical evidence that prostate cancer can be caused by a person having asbestosis. I am 60% disabled from the military for service-connected asbestosis. They will not cover my prostate cancer as being service-connected.

Fibroscan today

He is having major breathing problems due to COPD, emphysema and suspected asbestosis so had to take steroids for a while which has caused his diabetes to go into overdrive. I feel so sorry for him - this was NASH cirhosis and cancer in his liver. Not sure what else I can do for him?

Fibroscan request 4 years after transplant

He recently had a diagnosis of asbestosis and emphysema. He is a type 2 diabetic and this seems to be causing him problems and is out of control. He recently had an ultrasound scan of his liver which seems to be causing some issues.

Prednisone dosage

I have the following Asbestosis, Pulmatory Fibrosis, Emphysema, Chronic Bronchitis. I have a terrible cough and excess mucus day and night can hardly sleep. I've tried to get several doctors to give me prednisone, but they refuse. Medical care in Spain is lacking.

ANY MASK IS BETTER THAN NO MASK AT ALL

As an engineer who has had to use respiratory protection against mainly asbestosis I and many other filtration specialists have been absolutely appalled regarding the dithering and false info regarding masking up.

Copd Asbestosis

I have been diagnosed with Asbestosis and COPD (in a bit of a mess). DHSS are telling me I am 10% disabled. I know I am worse than that given what I can no longer do. My last SPIROMETRY results were FEV1?FVC 42.23% = Sever.

Pleural Thickening

Hi, Anyone on line suffering from Asbestosis - Pleural thickening? Mine surfaced in 2000, though the only time I have used asbestos was for a short time in 1969. What medication do you have, and has it changed recently?

Advice about my Dad

He has had a number of tests and seen different Consultants and although Copd has been mentioned there has also been talk of asbestosis but results so far are not clear therefore he has been put forward for a lung biopsy (vats I think). He saw the surgery consultant yrday and timeframe is 3/4 wks.

TB

My father was told he had lung cancer copd and asbestosis. After he died we had him autopsied and it was TB. He wasnt given the correct treatment. As our entire family cared for him, does it mean we could have it?

Dyspnea On Exertion (DOE)

I was exposed heavily to asbestos in the military and believe I have asbestosis but docs refuse to diagnos. Will not do biopsy. Have several enlaged lymph nodes, pleural thickening and calcified granulomas in my lungs but still no diagnosis. Don't overlook pulmonary disease when asking about SOB!
