My doctors were totally flummoxed as to what was going on, even when I was rushed into hospital by my GP, the pulmonary consultant was adamant I had cancer and when the diagnosis eventuality (took a month stay in the hospital, being transferred to a bigger (Cancer ward) hospital for the 1st biopsy) came as Sarcoidosis, I looked blankly at tge consultant and asked whats that, I was told to GO HOME & GOOGLE IT!! Not even a leaflet available on the ward, don't think the consultant new enough to be able to talk to me and answer my questions about it. I had no idea what the future held for me, IF ONLY I HAD KNOWN!!
