After months of coughing up phlegm, my mother was diagnosed
as having sarcoidosis, an inflammation of tissues around
the trachea, or thereabouts.

Can anybody give me an explanation for this condition?
What sort of prognosis to expect?  Is it hereditary?
Thanks, mike k

You think AT&T thinks about CoCos, music, or Star Trek?
No?  Then, these opinions must be all mine!
