Short Bio

I was diagnosed 5 yrs. ago Early Stage no change til this year. Someone said that could be considered an exacerbation I don’t know Dr. Didn’t confirm that.
I do wonder due to having had COVID second time around and bad case Pneumonia same time could have worsened my lungs.

I had yearly Ct after and found that lung damage had changed for worse and then found a new Pulmonary Dr.
