Sam Wassel is a young wife and mother.  She is also a long distance runner.  But the hardest thing she's encountered recently is the pain in her abdomen.  At first she thought it was a severe issue with her monthly cycle.  But upon further review, it was sarcoidosis.  Listen as she details the pain she experienced and the difficult path to diagnosis.  Also in this episode, Sarc Fighter Royce Robertson returns with details about his sarc fundraiser Cycle4Sarc.  He's undertaking a major bike ride -- even though he suffers from cardiac sarcoidosis to raise money for the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research.  Listen in as he talks about his plans and fundraising efforts -- and - Do you want to join him?
