Sarc Fighter: Living with Sarcoidosis and other rare diseasesShow Notes
Scarlette Washlock was diagnosed with sarcoidosis when she was just 12 years old. Her mother, Kelly McBride, had to raise her daughter with all the anguish and uncertainties that come with Sarcoidosis, compounded by Scarlett's youth and her desire to stay active at school. Together they succeeded. Scarlette had a good high school experience and joins me on the podcast from her new freshman digs at Ohio State University, where she hopes a pre-med path is the one she can take. Listen in as Scarlette and her mom discuss their journey as they took on sarcoidosis.
