“In October 1997, I was diagnosed with an extremely rare and deadly cancer called Mesothelioma which attacks the lining of the lungs. It is a medically proven fact that the only way one can contract this cancer is through exposure to asbestos and asbestos-related products. My exposure was proven to be with my experience with my work as a sheet metal worker on outside jobs and also through my experience in the US Navy as a Machinist Mate.”
