| Short Bio | Last January (2020) I started to have a persistent cough, after three months I finally visited my doctor he thought that I may have post-nasal drip. In June after CT scans, pulmonary function test and lung biopsy it was determined that I have IPF. I am on OFEV and have the lung team at Brigham and Women’s in Boston setting me up for a double lung transplant.
