read the nanda definition of the diagnosis of chronic pain on this website: chronic pain. it is due to actual tissue damage. look up the pathophysiology to learn the cell changes that are going on in mesothelioma as well as the cell damage and trauma. also explore the process of inflammation and its signs and symptoms which accompanies tissue damage (https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-student/histamine-effect-244836.html).
