However I was listening to Jeremy Vine on BBC radio 2 earlier today and was reminded of an email I received off the back of my blog about another type of cancer. A cancer which is not the result of a genetic mutation, but is caused by inhaling one fibre of a substance.
That substance is asbestos and the cancer is mesothelioma.
The mesothelioma campaign emailed me this fact sheet. I thought that I would share it with you as this can affect anyone. I was moved listening to the story of a school teacher who contracted this horrendous disease just because she was displaying her classes artwork on the walls of her classroom.
