Cancer victim’s appeal for help

Oct 16 2008 by Andrew Hirst, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

Mr Savage, who has one daughter, said: “I never expected to be diagnosed with cancer. I have always been fit and healthy, so the diagnosis came as a terrible shock.

“Although I am now in remission I have been told the cancer could come back again.

“That is a big weight on my mind.

“I am lucky the cancer was caught when it was, but I have no idea what the future holds for me.”

Thompsons Solicitors spokeswoman Marion Voss said: “Exposure to certain chemicals can increase the risk of bladder cancer.

“Fortunately Mr Savage’s condition is in remission.

“However, it’s important that we trace his former workmates so we can build up an accurate description of his working environment.”

Anyone who worked with Mr Savage at ICI in Huddersfield during the 1970s or who was employed in the 824 Beta Nap building is asked to phone Ms Voss on 0113 205 6300.
