My battle with sarcoidosis

Mar 8, 2020

By: Elizabeth

Year Condition Began: 23


After I was diagnosed They were able to track my disease all the way back to when my son was born.
After my son was born they found a Softball size tumor in my kidney which I had have My kidney removed. Then I ended up getting a 37 pound mass in my abdomen the size of a basketball I had to have that removed which gave me a Radical hysterectomy. I kept getting pneumonia and they found I had sarcoidosis In my lungs. At that time they told me it can affect any part of my body so I asked them about my heart and luckily that that conversation happened because they found a golf ball sized tumor in my heart. At that time I had open heart surgery to remove it. I overcame this too. I have had it in my skin my heart my bone marrow my lungs and I think there's so many other places we all don't know about yet. I have been told I was going to die repeatedly due to this disease but I have survived and I will continue surviving and you can too.
