Short Bio

My husband of 37 years, has IPF.  He was diagnosed about 16 years ago and didn’t experience any significant symptoms other than a moderate SOB for years.  He started taking Espriet about 5 years ago and although his symptoms progressed it was slow.  This last year his disease has become severe, we’ve been referred to hospice.
