Short Bio

Had shortness of breathe and dry cough 1/2017. Went to Dr and was told sinus issues, given antibiotics, didn’t work and by May of 2017 was in the hospital with pneumonia. Antibiotics didn’t work went back for exrays about every 2 months, “pneumonia” still there so in December 2017 Dr requested CT scan and referred to pulmonary Dr. Seen him end of January 2018, did brochoscopy February 5th and was told it was stage 3 NSC lung cancer. Made appointment with oncologist who informed me on February 15th it was Stage 4 NSC lung cancer and they were running test on the cells in my lungs in which 2 weeks later was told I also have IPF. Curious to know if anyone else feels the pain of being kicked in the lungs over and over with a heavy cough that won’t go away.
