When you have been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer such as mesothelioma, finding a doctor who is familiar with the disease and its treatment is an important consideration. Health care available at the local level may suffice if you choose “standard” care options such as chemotherapy, however, if you are looking into surgical evaluation or other specialized forms of treatment, it becomes more important to expand your search for doctors who deal with mesothelioma on a regular basis and have experience in the most up to date protocols available.
Second opinions are common when dealing with a rare cancer, and after listening carefully to your primary doctor’s opinions and treatment plans, you may wish to consult with a more specialized physician before making a treatment decision. By doing this, you can feel comfortable that you have explored every avenue possible and have information on every available option. Your primary doctor may be able to refer you to a specialist, or you can do this on your own as a “self referral”. In either case, you should be sure your primary doctor is aware that you are satisfied with the care you have been given thus far, but because of the rarity of the disease, you would like to be as thoroughly informed as possible. No good doctor should feel threatened that you want to seek a second opinion – it is simply being a good consumer.

The models are divided into two main categories here; gasoline driven and diesel driven models. The models are marked by a number and sometimes one or more trailing letter. The number represents the size of the engine in liters (the exception is when a larger engine is installed in the same model at a later date), like the 200 has a 2.0 liter engine and 230 a 2.3 liter engine. The letters have the following meaning (some of them are not used for the W123 model);
- S – Sports model
- E – Einspritzung (fuel injection)
- C – Coupe (two door)
- T – Transport und Touristik (station wagon)
- L – Lang (long)
- SL – Sport Leicht (sport light)
The body has the suffix W and the gasoline engine the suffix M and the diesel engine OM. This represents the following;
- W – Wagen (car)
- M – Motor (engine)
- OM – Öl Motor (oil/diesel engine)

The W123 models surpassed their predecessor, the W114/W115 “stroke-8″ models, as the most successful Mercedes, selling over 2.5 million cars, before being replaced by the W124 after 1985. Also, the additional, smaller range of Mercedes-Benz W201 models was introduced in 1982.

The furthest distance in the world
Is not between life and death
But when I stand in front of you
Yet you don’t know that
I love you
The furthest distance in the world
Is not when I stand in font of you
Yet you can’t see my love
But when undoubtedly knowing the love from both
Yet cannot
Be together
The furthest distance in the world
Is not being apart while being in love
But when plainly can not resist the yearning
Yet pretending
You have never been in my heart
The furthest distance in the world
Is not
But using one’s indifferent heart
To dig an uncrossable river
For the one who loves you
