Still in shock.

My partner has been diagnosed with Mesothelioma Asbestosis. He worked as a boiler room engineer in the Royal Navy and had to use powdered asbestos mixed with water to lag the pipes in the boiler rooms to keep them cool. Little did he know that he was signing his future death warrant - for Queen and Country.

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Maryjosephine although I'm sorry to hear about your partner's diagnosis and for the reason it brings you here.

    There are many members who have been in the same position and will really understand what you are going through right now. I'm sure some of them will be along soon to offer their support but do feel free to have a look around using the 'search forum' option above to find other discussions about this diagnosis as well. You can also find out more about mesothelioma on our website here.

    Best wishes to you both,
