Short Bio | Hi I am the third and youngest in my family to be diagnosis my oldest brother passed in 2006 at age 62. my other brother had a transplant at Cleveland Clinic in July 2022. I was diagnosed when my brother was in 2017. I have shortness of breath but no dry cough. I have guessed by my brothers that 2-3 years after the dry cough is when your time is up. i was diagnosed early because of my brothers history. Without the transplant in July my brother most likely would not have seen the new year. I wish everyone the best. |
