It is always scary when one is diagnosed of cancer because the general notion about cancer is that it is deadly. However, there are two classifications of cancer- benign and malignant. The benign is the mild form of cancer and can be removed or treated with chemotherapy.
A malignant cancer is the dreaded one. They usually proliferate fast and if nothing is done to keep it in check, it quickly results to the death of the patient. Mesothelioma is a terminal cancer with no care in sight as of yet. Treatment of mesothelioma usually takes a palliative approach.
