What is Sarcoidosis?
			Sarcoidosis (pronounced SAR-COY-DOE-SIS) is a devasting, potentially fatal inflammatory disease that can appear in almost any organ in the body.  Although the lungs are affected in more than 90% of patients, the disease often attacks the eyes, central nervous system, liver, kidneys, and in Ken's case - the heart.  Once thought rare, sarcoidosis is now known to be common and affects people worldwide.  Sadly, the disease is difficult to diagnose, the cause remains unknown, and there is no cure.
