Please help me, I can stop panicking. My Mother has just informed me that she has been diagnosed with Asbestosis and we have no idea where she has got this from. I started thinking about the home improvements that my husband and I have done in the house and was thankful that we had a survey done, however my thoughtful husband just reminded me of the old council flooring that we scrabbled up 10 year ago in our old home, and now I'm freaking out. How can my Mother get Asbestosis without doing any DIY or building work etc but I am 'fine' with a years of home improvements. Please advise me, I can't stop crying.
