Sarcoidosis
So. The lung specialist believes that the things in my lungs are sarcoid tissues. Sarcoidosis is poorly understood - but it ain't cancer, so yay.
They don't know what causes sarcoid tissue, although certain genetic groups are more prone to it. Scandinavian background is one. Well shucks - the Sorgen genes have some downsides, I must say.
While I know that I am reading for the best and merely glancing over the worst, in general sardoidosis can be managed, or at least there are a lot of options to try.
In other news, my valiant attempts to make the CPAP part of my every day life continue. Monday night it won, but I have been gaining ground since then. I'm so tense about it I have a stiff neck. :) It shall get better; I shall persevere.
