Elisabeta's interview
How did all start?
I got a flu in Aprilie 2017. I take a radiography and my lungs were in a very bad shape. I was in a small town hospital and doctors didn t have a sure diagnosis. "TBC, carcinom, sarcoma, sarcoidosis..."i wasn t feeling bad or ill, i did not couch at all. So they did another radiography..all the same.and i went to a private dr.in Cluj Napoca. Dr Sosa Ioana, a very smart doctor who started to investigate. CT, blood analisis .but she is working at the children hospital and she sent me to another doctor dr. Parau Adriana for bronhoscopy and biopsy.in the end one blood analisys was concludent angiotensin convertaza, was high, 113.so it seems that i have sarcoidosis.but it is a Little atipic because the lung injuries are not just in mediastin but all the lungs are affected.
