Hi @nancylungdiseas and welcome to Connect! I moved your post to this existing sarcoidosis discussion so that you can connect with other members who have this condition. Simply click VIEW & REPLY in the email and you can read through past posts.

Having your breathing tests get better but the tumors getting larger must be both confusing and scary.

I'd like to bring @chesneydell1965 @bboxer @rickys @magspierce @ryman and @yturner into this discussion, as have some experience with sarcoidosis and can empathize with the apprehension about starting a new medication, the battery of tests and lack of energy.

Nancylungdiseas, what are some of the side effects that concern you the most of this potential medication treatment?

I was told of vomiting, diarrhea and dehydration. I am tired all the time, which is difficult for me. I am usually a ball of fire. I weigh more than I have in thirty years. I get short of breath so easy. I support myself and concerned about paying my bills.
