Mesothelioma

2. Mesothelioma

"I was a dandelion puff...
Some saw the beauty in me and stooped quietly to admire my innocence.
Others saw my potential of what I could do for them, So
They uprooted me, seeking to shape me around their needs.
They blew at my head, scattering my hair from the roots, changing me to suit them.
Yet still others saw me as something that was unworthy and needed to be erased"  - Nicole Bailey-Williams

        

Mesothelioma.
It's cancer in the lining of the lungs and abdomen.
No cure but there's surgery for early stages, and there's also Chemo and Radiation that can help "improve to stop" the cancers rapid spreading.
There's 'Pleural Mesothelioma'(lungs lining), 'Peritoneal Mesothelioma'(abdominal cavity), and 'Pericardial Mesothelioma'(cardiac cavity). With my luck, I have it all.
God knows only why I'm not dead yet.
Normally Mesothelioma is caused by asbestos, a microscopic and naturally accruing mineral that will get stuck to the lining of the lung, though they found out that's not what happened to me.
I'm still a mystery as to why and how I got it.
Some symptoms of Mesothelioma include, chest pain, chronic cough, effusions of the chest and abdomen, and the presence of blood in lung fluid.
I have been living with this cancer for nine years(since I was eight) like I said, only God knows why I'm still alive.
My parents and I actually found out on my 8th birthday.
Best present present ever, right?
I was sent to the hospital after I couldn't breath at my birthday party due to extreme chest pain,   Causing me to pass out
After an 3 hours of testing we were told the news.
My parents, neither took it well.
On the outside I was fine, looked peaceful and calm and okey. Like it was fine if I were to die.
But on the inside I was scared and screaming because on the the inside,
I was already dying.
