Patient

Short Bio

I have recently been diagnosed with IPF and a possibility of lung cancer. About 3 years ago I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. I’m a diabetic who is controlling the disease with medication. I need a right knee replacement but I have been going to a gym for over a year and it has helped build my leg muscles so I probably will not have the replacement. I’m a widow with no children and I manage my home, yard, snow removal and babysitting so with a knee brace I can still do all this.

Type of Pulmonary Fibrosis?

IPF

How long have you or the person that you are caring for had PF?
