Short Bio

Hi Everybody.
I was diagnosed end of November 2021. I took a second opinion due to this disease being such a life changer. IPF was confirmed and this Monday 21st Feb 2022 I will see a nurse who advises on medication. The Lung Doctor and Nurse are recommending ESBRIET Pirfenidon. I have looked into both ESBRIET and OFEV and have to make my mind up by Monday as to the BEST way forward. My brain is scrambled! There is so much info out there!
Any help with this would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. Christopher
