Asbestosis: a really horrible disease

My uncle worked quite extensively with asbestos for many years and now all that’s come home to roost.

Although many his age would be quite lively in fact his life is so bad that all those that love him would, if they were honest, would prefer that it was over. Of course the problem with the likes of malignant Mesothelioma isn’t so much that you have a horrible disease but that you can live for quite a long time with it, gradually going downhill as time goes on.

Of course, the biggest problem is that asbestos was pretty much everywhere 30 or 40 years ago. Even everyday items like an ironing board had it and I’m sure that there are a whole bunch of things around houses even now that have it.
