Guest guest Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 my sister died of mesothelioma which is an asbestosis cancer of the lining of the lung. my dad died of a small cell lung cancer which is related to asbestosis too. my doctors told me that my pf was not caused by asbestos as i do not have any pleural plaques. these plaques seem to be the indicators. if you ask if you have these, then 2 and 2 might make 4. hope this helps. may Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No know cause bothers me. Beverley Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
