My father worked delivering asbestos, every one of his co-workers that did front line deliveries are dead, mostly lung health related issues seemingly related to asbestos. My dad is in his 60's and fine so far.

I wonder if she got it from doing his laundry all the time.

My uncle spent some weeks doing DIY projects with asbestos. Hes has mesothelioma now. Turns out he has (along with many in our family) a genetic disorder that makes certain cancers like mesothelioma much more likely.
