Cancer devastates entire families. If you or someone you love suffered from cancer that was caused by your railroad work, our lawyers may be able to help. Railroad workers can sue their employers under the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) to receive reimbursement for medical expenses loss of wages and suffering.

A railway worker could develop mesothelioma or lung cancer as well as other illnesses as a result of exposure to diesel exhaust. Chemicals used to maintain railroad right-of-way spaces may cause leukemia and non Hodgkin lymphoma.

Mesothelioma

The most common mesothelioma type is mesothelioma of the pleural region, which affects the tissue that forms the lungs and covers them (the Pleura). Mesothelioma can also be found in the tissue surrounding the heart (peritoneal mesothelioma in the pleural region), or the testicles' membrane.

The symptoms of malignant mesothelioma are different depending on the area of the tumor. A shortness of breath, chest discomfort under the rib cage, as well as abdominal swelling are some symptoms. Other symptoms include weight gain, fatigue and fever.

A doctor can identify the condition using CT scans or MRIs. They may also order a biopsy, where they will take a small portion of tumor or fluid to test for cancer cells.

If mesothelioma is a diagnosis that is confirmed by a doctor, they will develop a treatment plan that is customized to meet your specific needs. They might recommend chemotherapy, radiation therapy or surgery.

Asbestos is the main cause of mesothelioma. When inhaled or ingested, asbestos fibres can get caught in the tissues that line and protect vital organs. These fibres can irritate the tissues and cause DNA damage. This can cause mesothelioma tumors to form from abnormal cells. The risk of developing mesothelioma is highest for those who have worked with asbestos, or lived with someone who had asbestos. It takes time before symptoms begin to manifest. Thus, many people don't notice any symptoms or signs until they are in an advanced stage.

Lung Cancer

A railway worker may develop lung cancer as a result of exposure to diesel exhaust or the chemicals used in maintaining right-of-way. A recent study has linked the use of the weedkiller glyphosate to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma among maintenance workers.

Lung cancer is among the most commonly encountered forms of cancer in the United States. About 85% are non-small cell lung cancers which include adenocarcinomas or squamous cancers. The remaining 15% of cases are small-cell lung cancers (SCLC).

The stage at when lung cancer is diagnosed determines the treatment. If the cancer has not been able to spread beyond the lungs and is caught in the early stages, then surgery or chemotherapy and radiation therapy can be successful. Unfortunately, most people who are diagnosed with lung cancer suffer from advanced cancer at the time of diagnosis.

Other symptoms of lung carcinoma include a persistent cough, difficulty breathing, fatigue, and weight loss. Some patients with lung cancer have metastasis which is the term used to describe when the cancer spreads to different parts of the body, including the brain, bones or adrenal glands.

In addition to suffering and emotional distress economic damages can also be a source of loss of enjoyment from life. A Chicago FELA lawyer can help an injured railroad worker collect evidence of the connection between their work and the onset of cancer or another chronic illness.

Multiple Myeloma

If you're diagnosed with multiple myeloma your treatment plan will include chemotherapy drugs like lenalidomide and the pomalidomide. Your doctor may also recommend an organ transplantation using stem cells, which is usually the most effective option for patients suffering from multiple myeloma. The transplant replaces the abnormal plasma cells that create myeloma proteins by healthy ones.

In some cases doctors can spot multiple myeloma through blood tests. These tests will detect M proteins made by myeloma-related cells and provide clues to how advanced the disease is. Other blood tests assess kidney function, bone health and calcium levels. Imaging tests like X-rays MRI and CT scans can reveal bone problems associated with multiple myeloma.

Multiple myeloma is treated by many specialists like your haematologist. This can include a GP (general practitioner), dietitian, radiation oncologist, and cancer nurse. Palliative care can help manage pain as well as other symptoms and symptoms.

Current treatments can treat myeloma however they cannot cure it. You can participate in clinical trials to study new treatments or improve the ones you already have. Talk to your doctor about your treatment options, and if you're eligible to participate in a trial. Alternative therapies are not widely used to treat multiple myeloma. However, natural treatments can help reduce some of the side-effects of treatment.

Leukemia

Leukemia is a form of cancer that develops in blood-forming stem cells also known as hematopoietic cells. These cells are responsible for generating white blood cells that fight off infections red blood cells which transport oxygen throughout the body and platelets that aid in clotting the blood following an injury. When cancerous leukemia cells multiply within the bone marrow, it causes them to crowd out healthy hematopoietic stem cells. They also prevent them from producing normal amounts of healthy red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.

Leukemia is classified into various types depending on the blood cell type that is affected and whether it is acute or chronic. Myeloid leukemias start in immature cells. They would normally grow into monocytes and granulocytes. Certain leukemias begin in lymphocytes in the form of immature cells which then transform into T-cells or B-cells. They are immune system cells and fight off infection directly. Acute leukemias are quickly progressing and require immediate treatment.


Chronic leukemias are slower-moving and often go into remission even without treatment. They are called chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The most common kind of CLL, chromosome positive chronic lymphocytic cancer, affects people who are older than 55. Another form of CLL is hairy-cell leukemia named because of the way it appears under a microscope.

A railway worker who develops cancer as a result of exposure to chemicals while on the job could be eligible for workers' compensation under the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA). wayne and mary union pacific railroad settlement can help establish the railroad's negligent in handling hazardous chemicals to ensure that injured railroad workers get fair compensation.
