Why Am I Experiencing Rashes And Shoulder Blades Pain While Suffering From Lung Cancer And Sarcoidosis?

Three weeks ago i went to hospital emergency.I had sever pain between my shoulder blades and chest.At first i thought it was a flair up with my artheritis.By 3 am i couldnt breath and was covered with a non itchy rash from head to to.It was very red and a bit raised but more flat.I was ut in ICU put on oxigen and had numerous blood tests an xray and ct scan.My oxigen levels were at 50%.They told me i had inflamitory lung cancer.Since then i have been to an internalist specialist and a chest surgeon.They are going to do a biopsy soon.This doctor said its either lymphoma or sarcoidosis.What do u think with my symptoms?Im still on oxigen and have no energy.The rash is gone and have no big weight difference. thankyou

Hello

Thank you for asking in HCM

I am sorry for your situation.

I want to explain that sarcoidosis is not a cancer.It is a chronic lung diseases with not known origin and which can affect all the body but lungs mostly.The medication is mainly with oral corticosteroides.
Lymphoma yes it is a cancer of the blood and it has some subtypes and according to them it is the treatment.
To determine the diagnosis the gold standard is taking the biopsy.
So do not worry since the answer of the biopsy.

I wish you good health

Thank you
Dr.Jolanda
