What best describes you?

Patient

Short Bio

Retired executive and management consultant.  Cardiac patient for two decades but physically active.  Liked to deep-sea swim and snorkel but found I lost my breath to the extent that I had to be pulled out of the water.  Diagnosis took several years because physicians focused on my cardiac history. Finally diagnosed as Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis in September, 2017.

Type of Pulmonary Fibrosis?

IPF

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

30 months from diagnosis; seven years since x-rays first identified scarring due to my complaints.
