Diagonsis

There are three forms of mesothelioma;

1) pleural mesothelioma affects the lining of the lung

2) peritoneal mesothelioma affects the lining of the abdominal cavity

3) pericardial mesothelioma affects the lining around the heart.


Just Remember:

Because mesothelioma's symptoms are not unique to it and the disease's relative rarity, cases of mesothelioma misdiagnosed are not uncommon. A review of the patient's medical history is an important part in assessing the risk of mesothelioma. Always ask for a 2nd opinion, your doctor will not mind especially with the seriousness of the cancer.
