    It matters to me as well.I’m really worried about my family and myself. This disease is really cruel. Indepth research should be conducted to look upon its causes and cure. There is presently no sure shot prevention and cure to this disease. Only hit and trial method technique is really there. If the two approved drugs works well then that’s fine otherwise the disease progresses rapidly. My father experienced acute exacerbation only once and that was the end. It sends chills down my spine everytime I think about the suffering of the patient. My dad never complained but I could see his condition. Its suffocating and felling suffocating is terrible. I hope God helps us to find a cure sooner. Genetic factor should really be looked upon so that disease doesn’t really become dominant in generations.

    I hope more research is done to find out the cure of this horrendous disease.My dad got diagnosed with Fibrotic NSIP just two years back but it changed to ipf rather quickly and within 2 years he passed away.

    Also my dad lived on Delhi which is one of the most polluted cities around the world. May be that contributed to rapid accelation of the disease.

    Sending prayers for you.

    My dad was also referred for palliative care in the end. His CT reports came back hopeless. he had all sort of abnormalities on the CT. His lungs were almost invisible in the CT. Infact his both lungs completely collapsed but he survived 1 month after that which the doctor stated as his bonus time. I hope u feel better Johnson.

    U r in my prayers…
