Mrs Brewer believed she developed mesothelioma from hugging her father, Philip Northmore, an asbestos lagger at Devonport Dockyard, when she was a child. She used to hug and spend time with him when he came home from work from the dockyard between 1963 and 1966. Mr Northmore died of asbestos-related lung cancer in August 2006, aged 68. The mother-of-three said his job involved scraping asbestos from pipes, that he would come home covered in dust and the exposure as a child was the only time she would have been linked to asbestos.
