Well It’s all going on SO thought would do update on how things are going or not with my dad and he’s Alzheimer’s Dementia Asbestos Mesothelioma thingy claim.

We’ll solicitor seen proof my dad worked for tuners newhall EVEN he’s p45 was coverd in Asbestos.

Guess THATs why tax record messed up with dates.

Anyway apparently turners trust fund the solicitor said you have to have had worked at turners for at least 6 months ?

Not a problem for my dad as was there under year.

Well is a problem IF you know what I mean.

I never new asbestos dieases work like that BUT guess your safe for six months.

Yet I have not read anything like that myself on trust website.

Well my dad went for other CT Scan so waiting to see what that as turned up.

Cancer & Waiting seem to be commen grumble BUT have been reading up and even tho my dad’s to sick for all drugs AM sure one could be isolated.

So when see doc that be my questions ALSO think am developing hospital phobia.

Picture is of my dad when he worked at turners asbestos cement.

I look at it AND think IF I would of been around then and knew and knew what I know NOW i would of told him fair hair people should not BE working with toxis dangerous stuff.

Needless to say if anyone recognised my dad from Trafford park turners newall cement ltd Manchester or worked there 1968 / 70 myself or solicitor would be intrested to hear from you.

My dad was mixer / cutter of asbestos sheets and use to lump bag's of asestos stuff about I guess with others.

Hello Jeff. Sorry about delay in replying. My Dad died of lung cancer in 1979 aged 55 he worked at an asbestos company in the 60s. Not sure of name. We lived in Whalley Range at the time. Not far from Trafford Park. He used to bring his clothes home in a bag and Mum nor my siblings and I were allowed to touch it. He washed them himself and then washed the machine and anything they touched. I can’t remember how long he was there it could have been a few months. It seemed there was no safety gear or masks in those days. Although I am not sure what went on at his workplace. The type of lung cancer was never mentioned. Back then diagnosis was accepted. However my dad was a smoker of Senior Service or Players, which were strong and he had also been in the Royal Navy before, during and after WW2. Therefore a combination of all this could have contributed to his cancer. He was a 17 year old survivor of The Royal Oak, which sank at Scapa Flow. He served on 26 ships during his service and 8 sank with him surviving.

Good luck to you and your Dad. I hope his treatment will help him.
