Marie Pickup (68) last year she had a chest x-ray for former smokers. However, the examination unexpectedly revealed changes in the abdominal cavitywhich led to the diagnosis peritoneal mesothelioma. he writes that it is a rare, aggressive one cancer that occurs from contact with asbestos.
The mother of three children and grandmother of two grandchildren remembered the years 1980–1985, when her brother worked as a carpenter. He came home all dirty from dust. Every day she greeted him with a hug. She was often there when his Mom shook out her work clothes in the kitchen.
Today, Marie fears that just then inhaled asbestos fiberswhich her brother brought from work. Her tumor today causes severe abdominal pain and prevents activities, which she loved.
Her brother is no longer alive, so Marie turned to lawyers who specialize in diseases caused by asbestos. They are now asking for information from people who in the 1980s, they worked on the renovation of apartments with terrace accesswhere she could come into contact with asbestos.
Lawyers warn that cases secondary contact asbestos are more common than the public thinks. Dangerous substance could be brought home by workers on contaminated work clothes.
