: As MediaTakeOut.com reported EARLIER THIS YEAR . . . actress Tisha Campbell is suffering from a DEADLY LUNG disorder . . . called sarcoidosis.
And for now Tisha is winning the battle . . .and looking CUTE AS EVER while doing so . . .
Just because someone looks healthy based on their outward appearance means NOTHING!!! Sarcoidosis can affect several organs, and the organ that it affects is going to be unhealthy. My mother had pulmonary Sarcoidosis and she passed away at the age of 43; however, not may people die for the disease, so to call it DEADLY is not accurate!!!
Once considered a rare disease, sarcoidosis is now known to be a common chronic illness that appears all over the world. Indeed, it is the most common of the fibrotic lung disorders.
Anyone can get sarcoidosis. It occurs in all races and in both sexes, but mainly in people between 20 and 40 years of age. The risk is greater if you are a young African-American adult (especially a woman) or of Scandinavian, German, Irish or Puerto Rican origin. White women are just as likely as white men to get sarcoidosis but, among African Americans, females get sarcoidosis two times as often as males.
