My hubby's uncle just passed away from lung cancer at the age of 62. I believe he smoked years ago, but he hadn't smoked for at least the last 20-30 years! He didn't have jobs over the years that would likely be the culprit for an environmental cause. I can't imagine the horror, and rage if you found out you were terminally ill due to something you were exposed to over a long period of time! I often think about that, working in the old school building that I do. We even had the building tested several years ago, because so many of us suffer from eye problems, constant nasal issues, dry throats etc. Hopefully they can figure it out before a staff member is undergoing mesothelioma treatment from asbestos exposure!
