Guest guest Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 My friend's dad died of asbestosis after working as a lineman for the telephone company for years. She was told by doctors at the time that because of the asbestos in his clothes that just by being in the same house she would probably eventually show signs of the disease. Pulmonary fibrosis was never mentioned, though. Bill IPF '08 A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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...

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 ken i'm in the uk. when pauline passed, we had specialist lawyers check all her places of work and we couldn't pinpoint anywhere. asbestos is in every public building here in the uk and it only needs one thread to lodge so we were advised not to waste our money chasing compensation and her children were awarded cash from the government. we took all our advice from 'clyde action on asbestos' so we are happy we did the right thing. there was talk about the laundering of my dads overalls from the shipyards but again 8yrs ago, costly to try and prove, never mind my poor mother's reaction. she felt she was being accused of giving this to her daughter. thanks for the suggestion though. may > > i have seen a ad on tv for a class action suit for those suffering from and for family members of those with mesothelioma. > if you like i'll keep my eyes open and forward the phone #. > > ken > > > > > ________________________________ > From: may > To: Breathe-Support > Sent: Friday, February 27, 2009 10:48:31 AM > Subject: asbestos > > > > 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...

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Bev...try piercing a vitamin E capsule and putting on your nails. Sure can't hurt you and works wonders!

I have thought about it but I decided that it would probably be a bad idea. I have a slight thyroid problem so maybe it is just everything lumped together. Everytime I bump a nail on something it breaks down into the quick. I hate it but I guess that I will have to live with it the same as I do this canula in my nose.
