Did you wear a mask to protect yourself from breathing in asbestos fibers? How often were you in these older homes and do you know for sure there was asbestos present? These are all questions that would be helpful to know to figure out what your exposure likely was. If you were not in many old homes and you wore a mask for protection your risk would be lower, for example. See your doctor for eval
