      I am on scare #6 of thinking my cancer is back.  I had surgery two years ago to have lymph nodes removed from two areas and they came back clean.  My onc said he diagnosed me with granulomar disease two years ago.  Scans came back with not good changes this year.  My onc is leaning towards active sarcoid.  I was never tested for sarcoid, was just told that I had it.  I did have a blood drawn on Friday to be tested for it. 

      Who has heard about these two things?  what is the possible treatment, and how does it affect melanoma?
