I went to the doctor. He saw I lost a lot of weight and referred me to an X-ray, CT scan and an MRI scan."The hospital consultant could see something was going on in my chest.

He asked where I worked and suspected it would likely be the dust.“I just couldn’t believe it."Fighting a legal case could help other people like me with this disease so it’s the right thing to do."I beg you – don’t ignore the symptoms, speak to your GP and talk to them about where you worked.

If not for you then do it for your family.”Silicosis caused by inhaling silica dust – a natural mineral found in rock – where symptoms include shortness of breath, coughing, fatigue and weight loss.
