Cancer has become one of the biggest diseases that powerful nations with great scientists and improved technology have continuously tried to fight with no success. For young people who are diagnosed with cancer, their future almost comes to an end, especially the ones from poor backgrounds. The parents and family members who have to cater for medical bills struggle, and it is almost impossible for such families to afford a quality education. Among the most prevalent types of cancerous diseases is mesothelioma, which is a very complicated type that is often misdiagnosed as lung cancer.
