Mesothelioma is a type of cancer, specifically of the linings of the body organ. Its name is derived from the name of this thin lining, which is known as the mesothelium. This type of cancer is very rare but is usually caused by asbestos exposure.
There are three types of mesothelioma, the pleural, peritoneal and pericardial. The most common which constitutes up to 70% of the cases is the pleural mesothelioma. This takes place in the pleura or in the lining of the lungs.
Being diagnosed with Mesothelioma prognosis is annihilating for the sufferers along with their loved ones. The causes for these are broad and mixed as Mesothelioma is one unusual type of cancer, that contaminates the mesothelium, the defensive layer of essential interior organs.
A book which is written by a mesothelioma cancer survivor entitled "Surviving Mesothelioma" by Paul Kraus is now available for patients who are currently suffering and undergoing treatments for the disease. The book now serves as a guide as well as an inspiration for mesothelioma patients who have somehow lost hope, especially in their battle against the disease.
After the book, they were also able to develop a site which now serves as a channel for mesothelioma asbestos lung cancer sufferers, survivors and families to share their stories, inspiring words and testimonials for others to read. Besides that also in the site are different developments, news and research updates as well as facts about the disease are also made available.
