Recently diagnosed with IPF.  Still going through tests.  I am 79 year old female in good health, or so I thought.  Complained about heaviness in chest, headache, sore throat,some difficulty swallowing ,  joints ache, mucus .    After x-ray and CT scan said I had a 9 mm scar on lungs.  I AM IN SHOCK.  Taking inhaler, lots of Tylenol so far.  So perplexed and sad.  I was a teacher, no cancer or therapy for such.
