    Carol N Lenahan replied to the topic After Care Requirements for a Lung Transplant in the forum Pre/Post Lung Transplant 3 years, 8 months ago

    Thank you Charlene for the kind words and prayers.  Yes I’ve been on the Duke transplant list for 22 days.  Days have gone by fast.  When I mentioned exercise, Duke requires you to do 2 hours a day / 5 days a week at your own pace.  20-30 minutes walking, 20 minutes bike / new-step, 30 minutes of floor exercises and 30 minutes of weights.  This…[Read more]

    Carol N Lenahan replied to the topic Starting Esbriet in the forum Esbriet (Pirfenidone) 4 years, 7 months ago

    Hi, I am Carol and I was diagnosed with IPF in 2016.  I had a lung biopsy to confirm the diagnoses. I was on Ofev for almost 1 year but I lost 60 lbs and looked like death warmed over.  I have been off of it for about a year and have added some pounds back. I’m not sure I want to start Esbriet.  We’ve moved from NYS to GA and I find myself ex…[Read more]
