Short Bio

I’m 58 year old woman whose life has been turned upside down, about 3 years ago I started get pneumonia every couple of months and every time my fibroses was getting worse. 8 months ago my Lung Specialist diagnosed PF, my oxygen was sitting in the 75 to 80 and when I woke up in the morning it was in the 60s I’ve been on oxygen ever since then and recently had to go and get portable cylinders for when I go out. I met with the lung transplant team last week and it’s so scary
