Suzanne's story - Asbestos disease

It would have been round about May or June in 2015. I had a lot of trouble sleeping on my right side. It was like a pain, so I left it for about, I suppose a month. I went to my GP. She sent me for a CAT scan it's come back from the biopsies that you have what is called mesothelioma from asbestos.

I couldn't believe it for a while, but then I knew there was nothing I could do about it. I knew that they can't operate because it's like they're like slithers of glass.

I developed this asbestos disease by washing Ray's work clothes. He'd come home from work he'd change in the laundry. I'd give them a good shake put them in the washing machine and that was something that went on for 40 years.

I was the lucky one. All of my life I've been a nurse because I've always loved helping people. As I've had to retire from nursing because I can't manage it anymore with this pain, Maurice Blackburn, it's like they're returning the favour, they're looking after me.

Sean was my voice, he was marvellous.

At Maurice Blackburn, we come out and see a client in their home, discuss their life story and then go away and take care of everything, whilst keeping them updated as the process goes along. To help sue, and to have changed her life and to see how much it means to her that we've been there to support her through this, makes me feel really pleased that I can do this job and provide the support to people

It felt really bittersweet. Bitter because of what I had been exposed to and what my diagnosis was and not knowing my prognosis. But it was sweet knowing that I want to help everybody. The only thing I don't want to know is how long I've got.

Who knows, I still want to do what I can while I can.
