Short Bio

I am 76 years of age and was diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis last month, April 2019.   I have taken care of myself, exercised, walked and ate right and now end up with this disease.  I am going to UVA for a second opinion in June 2019.  This disease really threw me for a loop after reading about the death rate.  I guess I am saying I am scared because of taking care of myself for most of my life which right now I think of a loss.
