Asbestosis is a chronic inflammatory medical condition affecting the parenchymal tissue of the lungs. It occurs after long-term, heavy exposure to asbestos. Sufferers have severe shortness of breath and are at an increased risk regarding several different types of lung cancer. Learn about the symptoms, possible causes, and treatment options for asbestosis in this video.
To me, not knowing is worse than knowing.

Thank you for the excellent video. After 12 years of exposure, I have fibrosis and the plural plaque. Begnin (thankfully) mesothelioma. I'm on o2 therapy that seems to escalate every 6 - 8 months. My o2 sats are 79 - 83 with out o2. One of my biggest issues is the pain. It also seems to escalate. Is there anything new in pain management these days? I hate being knocked out by pain meds. Is asbestosis always degenerative? No one will tell me anything about the stages.
