I know you have to have a company in hazmat suits come out and they seal the area off and work with a machine that draws in the air and fibers, but isn't there still some residue in the air and on things that can be dangerous? I'm worried I should sell the house and not live here myself during or after the renovation. I'm worried about mesothelioma… lung cancer from inhaling bits of asbestos. So far, I've just not touched the asbestos… hoping not stirring it up would be safer, but now I have problems with my boiler and will have to have it replaced, which means dealing with the asbestos problem. sigh.

Asbestos is nasty, nasty stuff if it gets airborne, so this is definitely not a material you want to take chances with. Your mitigation contractor can advise you as to whether or not you should find other lodging while the work goes on. Here's what you need to know about asbestos and asbestos cleanup:

My Uncle died last Monday aged 75, after a short illness. He had been on dialysis and wonder if this could have accelerated his death? He had possible mesothelioma after potential asbestos exposure in his younger days. He developed a Chest infection before Christmas and they discovered cancer in cells from chest sputum thereafter…From cancer diagnosis to death it was a week! The post moretem was inconclusive and therefore we have to have an inquest
My grandmother was dx with colon cancer, surgery, dead 6 weeks later. A lot depends on the stage that its in. Sooner found and treated better chance. There some that move quick.

I have been lucky, and have not had to deal with the nastiness of cancer. My grandpa has Mesothelioma, the cancer from asbestos. He has been in Stage 4 for the past 3 years and has defied all of the odds. They originally only gave him a couple months to a year to live, but Chemo has worked wonders. He just had a scan and the results showed it has increased in size significantly, so the last round of Chemo didn't work. This has caused his ability to breathe to decrease, and the changed his Chemo. He had his treatment with the new stuff on Friday, and they rushed him to the hospital today because of his inability to breathe.

My question is are these signs of the beginning of the end? I know this form of cancer will eventually suffocate him, and he does have a living will, so oxygen is the only form of assistance he will receive. How long will oxygen help? I am very saddened by all of this and would hate to see him suffer for long like this. He is a good man and doesn't deserve to die like this. Do your organs shut down due to lack of oxygen? Anyone with experience with Mesothelioma or that knows about this and can give me some insight, I'd appreciate any details no matter how graphic. I just want to know what to expect.
Don't go into all of the herbs and stuff you can take to beat cancer. We know he is dying and cannot beat this. I really appreciate the thought though.
I know they cannot tell us when he will die, but I feel so helpless. Thanks for the link, but I have read everything out there about this and really was hoping to find someone who knows about this type of cancer first hand.

I understand where you are coming from. You just want the facts not someone to try to make you feel better (as if that is possible at this point). Although I deal with cancer everyday I really don’t know the answer to your question and honestly his oncologist would know the answer specifically to your grandfather better than anyone. However, I am on my way to a tumor board now and will ask one of the oncologist when I’m there and edit my answer when I return.

EDIT: According to one of my oncologists most often death is due to heart failure.

Now for the rest of your question., there is a small chance the new chemo may help pull him out of this for awhile, but it is more likely this is the beginning of the end. You will know when he loses weight, sleeps more, tires easily, coloring changes, gets confused and he doesn’t want to eat or drink much.

You may want to look into hospice so that when you and your family are ready, you have a plan. They help the entire family not just the patient and they are wonderful people. I am very sorry you and your grandfather have to go through this. May God bless both of you.

My mom died of mesothelioma, which is the asbestos cancer, last year. We have no idea where she was exosed so I am trying to learn as much as I can about the places she lived. She lived at Carswell in the fifties. I would like to know if anybody knows anything about Carswell, or the area surrounding it. If there are any factories around that area, or how far away it is from the Summit and 5th streets (because 19 mesothelioma cases were diagnosed in that area).

Just any info you have would be helpful. Thanks so much!

Airplane brakes were made of asbestos in the 1950's well before technologies were invented to contain asbestos.

Asbestos abatements were sometimes necessary on old job,
usually in healthcare facilities.
The contractors have the equipment/ materials to remove asbestos debris & protect the surrounding areas during normal hours .
Licensed abatement contractors test the enviornment before & after work is done & certify the area is safe.
The contractor will advise if it is best to vacate the property
(or not ) while work is in progress.
If there is extensive asbestos wrapping on piping ,the contractor may be able to re- encapsulate it if that is a good option.
Could get lucky, some older homes had pipes insulated with glass fiber that was wrapped the same old way they did the asbestos.
Might also check local regs to see if the home can be sold "as is "
or if you must perform an abatement as a condition of sale.
It needs to be a co-ordinated effort between the heating contractor & the abatement contractor to prepare for the new furnace since the heating contractor will not be able to start work until the place has been certified "safe".
Might be disruptive , but a reputable licensed plumber & certified abatement contractor can do the job safely.
Best regards
