There is a lot of information on the world-wide web since my daughter’s diagnosis in 1999. Sarcoidosis Support Groups can be found throughout the US and abroad. Research is taking place at the Cleveland Clinic, Vanderbilt Medical University, the Mayo Clinic, National Institutes of Health, National Jewish Research Center, Albany Medical College, just to name a few. Research is showing promise, but still a long way to go for a Sarcoidosis cause and possible cure.
