Asbestos exposure: What are the chances of developing mesothelioma?

Posted by davidsmith76 @davidsmith76, Dec 24, 2022

I might have been exposed to asbestos. I am 76 years old. Will I outlive any chances of getting mesothelioma? How many years does it take for symptoms to develop?

My dad had significant asbestos exposure in the navy while aged 18-21. He was diagnosed with malignant pleural mesothelioma at age 84, so at least 63 years for him. It's pretty rare.
