This has been reported today and it appears as goggled gook I cant work it out.
This sentence isn't making sense
Medical evidence
This has confirmed that the presence of pleural plaques is an indicator that a person has been exposed to asbestos. Given that exposure to asbestos increases the risk of developing a serious illness, a diagnosis of pleural plaques can give rise to an understandable sense of anxiety and unease. However, while the exposure to asbestos has resulted in an anatomical change, in the great majority of cases pleural plaques do not in themselves produce any significant physiological change or loss of lung function, and only very rarely give rise to physical symptoms. In such rare cases it is still possible for individuals to bring a civil claim for damages.
There is no available medical evidence to show that pleural plaques become malignant or lead to mesothelioma or other asbestos-related diseases. Current evidence indicates that it is a person’s exposure to asbestos that produces any increased risk of developing a serious asbestos-related disease rather than the pleural plaques themselves. That is a muddled statement. You breath in asbestos and pleural plaques grow and turn into Tumours --there is no argument there.
I know it would be so expensive paying out for pleural plaques and at that point your life is running along normal I know its when you have tumours growing that compensation is paid at the moment.
Anyway we have also had a day writing to the Daily Mail and the Complaints Commission, the Prime Minister as we have formed a group on face book called
After they published the article that I talked about yesterday.
So this has been a busy day and spent on the computer most of the time talking to face book friends who either have or their partners of parents have Meso and a lady lost her husband today after a long fight with the disease which is very sad.
We did get a walk in with the dog of coarse and it is a lot warmer but still very muddy.
My friends in Spain have been having very wet weather so its not only us although tonight the heavens opened.
I had a soup for lunch --tomato- and for dinner I cooked Ray chicken in a mustard sauce and curly kale and diced fried potato and myself quorn in the mustard sauce and kale the sauce turned out really tasty.
Dog walk coming up again I'm sure the dog can read the time and my mind as he has just walked into the den and sat by me whimpering to go out.
He has been so good with other dogs today I love it when he is in a sociable mood--- bless!! he didn't retaliate when next doors dog yapped away at him this morning through the fence.
Today has been a good day
