Afraid I can't help with the thickening, Kevina, but please call the British Lung Foundation helpline for advice, they are excellent. 03000 030 555 9-5pm.

Do you have medication to help with the shortness of breath? You are struggling so don't be afraid to call your GP about that and also say you are worrying and ask what this could mean.

I hope you can manage to find some relaxation over the holiday. Very best wishes :)

Many Thanks.Happy Xmas and I hope you have a great new year.

I believe you can claim compensation, if thickening was caused by the work you have done i.e asbestos.
