    Dave-Wendy Barrer replied to the topic Things to Regularly Re-Evaluate as a Patient with Pulmonary Fibrosis. in the forum Living with Pulmonary Fibrosis: 50+ 4 years, 7 months ago

    I think the largest and fasted changed that occurred was golfing,  a social outing that I now realize I took for granted. Thinking it would be a hobby I would do in retirement and into my 90’s,  being part of a league with 100 other guys for years…. Sunday morning with a few close friends, fun tournaments and annual trip to Florida during the l…[Read more]

    Sorry for taking so long on the CT Scan Disk information

    We were (are able) to request copies of all our procedures,  it takes a couple of days and they just load it onto a CD for pick up at imaging.

    It seems the disk has a working 3d Imaging application with all the sides organized into a few folders.

    One folder in particular has over 750…[Read more]

    thanks for all the posts,  I just went through a treatment that was interesting to say the least.

    After a 2nd lung CT scan after 5 months from diagnosis,  the doctor was shocked at the rate of progression

    Background: Not 100% sure yet between Stage 4 Sarcoidosis to Chronic Hypersensitive Pnemanites.  All under Pulmonary Fibrosis,  but seems to…[Read more]
