Short Bio |
I’ve been recently diagnosed (5 Months) with IPF. I’m 74, retired male, living alone, and can feel my lung function decreasing rapidly. I’m taking Oxygen, now up to 3-4 LPH. My sister died from this disease 2 years ago while waiting for a lung transplant.

Treatment / Medical Facility |
Brigham and Women's in Boston. No treatment. I've had to lobby for oxygen. I've also requested pallative care, as I don't foresee survival for much longer.
