Leeds pensioner's fury after getting cancer 'from sweeping dust and debris'

A Wetherby man is "uncertain what the future holds" after he got cancer "from sweeping dust and debris".

81-year-old Trevor Charlesworth is living with mesothelioma and has been left unable to travel far, enjoying his favourite sport golf, struggles to cook, and can't stand or walk for long periods of time.

The pensioner, who has lived with his wife of 40 years, Denise, began feeling pain in his rib and back in 2021, and five months later he was told of his diagnosis. "It still distresses me when I think about what I’m living with, but I know nothing will change that," Trevor said.
