Sarcoidosis attacks Lymph nodes

[chaplainstevens]

My lymphadema in my right leg is a result of Sarcoidosis destroying mine. Anyone else have Sarcoidosis?:(

I read you post and had never heard of this condition -- so I looked it up. I went to the website www.cancer.gov. I clicked on "Dictionary of cancer terms" (on the left side of the page) and then I moved on to sarcoidosis.
Now I know that it means, "Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease marked by the formation of granulomas (small nodules of immune cells) in the lungs, lymph nodes, and other organs. Sarcoidosis may be acute and go away by itself, or it may be chronic and progressive."

Here's hoping that you have the acute kind that goes away by itself.
