Hi Jenny, I received a single lung transplant. They don’t give anti fibrotic after transplant. People do switch from one medicine to another. It is the patients choice. Take care, mark

Hello Bob, this is an insightful update by you. I see the path how you are associating the cytokine storm to both diseases; COVID-19 and PF/IPF. I would hope this drug would at least be studied for its affects on fibrotic diseases. Thank you Bob for bringing this to our attention. Take care, Mark.

I do think many hospitals and institutions are trepid in their estimations until a large respected institution changes their numbers. I think a valid and rel…[Read more]

I totally agree with you but the sad fact is, our disease is very complex in it’s pathology. I do wish the process for approval was shortened. It seems most trials must overcome piles of paperwork and as we know this takes time. Take care, Mark.
