A secondary issue came up during the Fall. I spent three nights in the hospital for three separate concerns. I was seeing a Oncologist but that concern is past now. This doctor discovered a dark spot in my Lymph Node - Sarcoidosis. I don't really even know what it is but this condition can be mild or severe. It can manafest in several areas in the body such as: kidney, liver, lungs, heart, eyes and brains - what's left. As more is revealed I will fill you in.
Okay,
Sarcoidosis is something I know a bit about.
My former husband has it. Diagnosed in 2007.
The doctors he saw for it, primarlily a pulmonologist, said that it is like the unwanted house guest that breeds and multiplies taking up space that your organ(s) need. The
granulomata can take hold in any organ of the body it chooses.
It tends to be most fatal if it takes hold in your heart.
My ex had it in his skin (lumps in his skin) and lungs.
He was on steroids for a lengthy period of time to get it in control.
Since I've been divorced 11 years I really don't know how he's doing with it, but he had it under control back then.
Bernie Mac and Reggie White both had Sarcoidosis.
