Toronto Area Sarc Support

As a new comer to the world of sacoidosis, I am trying to come up to speed on what the current state of knowledge about the condition and the approved treatments currently being employed. I am heading for a lymph node biopsy in two weeks and shortly after that I suspect I will be discussing treatment options with my Dr's. I would weclome the opportunity to discuss the issues I am about to face with anyone who has recnetly had to face the same issues and particularly anyone in the Toronto area.

I was diagnosed in 91 following lung biopsy. Its a quick and sure diagnosis which is what many people on this site wish for. They will choose one of three protocols: No treatment, wait and see, steroids. I wishI had been treated initially with steroids but they elected not to. I think that was a mistake in my case. If they offer you steroid treatment I would suggest you accept it as drugs may help you avoid a long term chronic illness. Take care
