The Keighley News reported that those close to Suzie Jeng are attempting to raise sufficient funds to allow her and her family to travel to the US where she can receive the treatment, which would increase her lifespan.
Employers liability insurance holders have been told that in December Ms Jeng, 39, was first diagnosed with malignant peritoneal mesothelioma.
"There is no cure, however treatment can prolong life and the symptoms. Treatment is critical and can be obtained at a few specialised units mainly in the south of England. There is a possibility that Suzie may have to travel to America," co-founder of a fundraising group Jo-Anne Harrison said.
According to the Health and Safety Executive, exposure to asbestos fibres can result in lung cancer, mesothelioma, pleural plaques, asbestosis and diffuse pleural thickening.
