Re:Sarcoidosis screening

[Guest guest]

Dear Jen,

<<I had En, swollen ankles,

and shortness of breath for 6 weeks and everytime my chest x ray was

clear, it wasn't until they did the Ct scan of my chest, did they find

that all the lymph nodes in my chest and around my heart were enlarged,

leading to the diagnosis of Sarcoidosis!!>>

Thanks for that info. I didn't know that a chest x-ray would not

necessarily show sarc. and the swollen lymph nodes. I guess we need to

insist on a CT scan when shortness of breath and EN are present.

Love,
