|  How old was your mom? Did she ever live in an older house? Many older homes used pipe insulation made of asbestos. If that insulation was ever disturbed, she could have inhaled fibers. Mesothelioma can stay dormant in your body for 30-50 years before causing a cancer. She could have been visiting someone who lived in an older home. It could have been an older school she attended or visited. You'll probably never figure it out. Does it matter? Is it just for "peace of mind" that you wonder, or do you have some other motive for wanting to know? |
