The retired Albury builder had just been diagnosed with mesothelioma, caused by exposure to asbestos. He had gone to his GP after experiencing shortness of breath and generally feeling unwell. Then a golfing mate, a cardiac specialist, recommended he get a second opinion from a renowned Sydney surgeon, Professor Brian McCaughan. A couple of weeks after his diagnosis, on his 58th birthday, Mr Cox had his right lung removed. Yesterday, more than five years after his life-saving surgery, Mr Cox urged Border residents — as part of Asbestos Awareness Week — to take the risk from asbestos seriously. Posted by Lou Williams
