Short Bio

CT scan in April 2021 confirmed the PF.  Radiologist said I would have had to be born and raised in a coal mine to have it, as my Mom also had it.  She lasted 10 yrs, last 3 yrs on  O2.  Guess the Radiologist was wrong.

Type of Diagnosis

familial/genetic PF

Treatment / Medical Facility

Nothing yet. Hope to soon start Esbriet.

Current medication regimen

Esbriet soon. Red tape is costing me months of lost treatment. Sad.

Supplemental Oxygen

no
