Splotches

I am surprised at the many new forms of cancer I am reading about. Or they might not be new but I’m the one new to it. Like mesothelioma. I didn’t know before that you can get cancer from asbestos. So many local houses has asbestos at home and it worries me that we might have it here as well.

When I read about this new form of cancer, I immediately told my dad about it so he can check with the contractor who built our two-storey house if there’s asbestos in the house. It’s really worrisome because my mom died of a rare form of kidney disease called Amyloidosis. And guess where she got it? From an old ammonium nitrate bodega/storage building that was their neighbor when she was a little girl. All along, she had that disease and it only manifested when she’s in her mid-40s. Imagine that.

So this cancer-inducing asbestos better be not in our home. I am having that checked asap.
