Deletion of Appropriate Citation - Reverted[edit]

Not sure why an appropriate citation is considered spam. Citing Wikipedia Rules:

Changes may be made if there are no objections, or if discussion shows that there is consensus for the change. To help other editors understand the reasoning behind your edits, always explain your changes in the edit summary. Please provide reasoning. I look forward to reviewing your comments.

Here is my rationale for the citation:

The statement in the article is supported by this quotation: “Paul had been diagnosed in 1997 with metastases so advanced that the surgeons and cancer specialists had given him no hope of recovery or survival.” •Dr. Eckard Roehrich, M.B., B.S., Ph.D The quote appears here: http://www.survivingmesothelioma.com

The reference was: ref name=" Surviving Mesothelioma Website ">Roehrich, M.B., B.S., Dr. Eckard. "Foreword to Surviving Mesothelioma". Retrieved 12 May 2013.{{cite web}}: CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link)</ref> used to support this statement: Due to his advanced metastases, doctors gave him little hope and suggested he had only weeks to live. If you read all source documents, it compliments the reference at LivingProof. Taken together both references support the claim. Drannstarling (talk) 17:12, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mesothelioma is not a type of lung cancer[edit]

According to the Wikipedia article on this subject, mesothelioma is, technically, not a type of lung cancer. See for example:

Mesothelioma (or, more precisely, malignant mesothelioma) is a rare form of cancer that develops from cells of the mesothelium, the protective lining that covers many of the internal organs of the body. Mesothelioma is most commonly caused by exposure to asbestos. The most common anatomical site for mesothelioma is the pleura (the outer lining of the lungs and internal chest wall), but it can also arise in the peritoneum (the lining of the abdominal cavity), the pericardium (the sac that surrounds the heart), or the tunica vaginalis (a sac that surrounds the testis).
