Short Bio

Just recently diagnosed with IPF during an emergency room visit.  Had pneumonia and during the tests for that the CT scan they found Fibrosis and some honeycombing and stated that I had IPF and referred me to a pulmonologist.. although its been 2 weeks and have not heard anything..  I will seek out a local pulmonologists and set up an appointment.     Boy when they say in a blink of an eye your life can change.  It certainly can.  My husband passed away 2 years ago from Cancer and I was just getting my life back in order.  I “was” actually happy again.. until this.
