Hi, just wondered if anyone else has been diagnosed with sarcoidosis which did not show up on an x ray? I've been ill since May, but it was a mystery until I had a ct scan which shows several enlarged lymph nodes around my heart and behind my lungs, I'm booked in for a camera biopsy but just wondered if anyone has this ie. the lungs seem to be clear? Thanks x

    Hello I was also just diagnosed in may they seen spots in a xray from another test so they sent me for a ct scan with dye then they had me do a pet-scan which showed alot of hot spots so they did a biopsy going under my right breast and took samples of the lung area for the nodes all in both lungs so far the doctor didnt put me on meds because until it gets really bad the meds are more harder to deal per the doctor the anitboditics they say are harder on you some days are alot worst than others wish you luck
