Can asbestosis lead to more serious illnesses

by Wolfman66, Jun 25, 2008 03:31AM

Couldnt help but read the questions regarding asbestosis. However, even if you were exposed to hit over 20 years ago and not since, do not smoke and eat very healthily, can it develop into something more serious?

This discussion is related to Lung Pleural Thickening.
