I am grateful that although I was diagnosed with having cancer I at least have a kind that will hopefully be cured. There are three different types of mesothelioma and I have the most common and what is reported to be the most curable of the three types. Also, since my doctor seemed to detect it pretty early on I really do not have much to be scared about with the outcome. I have a great deal of hope that I will be free and clear this time next year and will just have to keep a careful watch over my symptoms.
