Short Bio

I was diagnosed with IPF in early 2021 after several HRCT and Pulmonary Function Tests. I have been on Esbriet (Perfenidone) starting in July 2021 and seem to tolerate it reasonably well. I love to travel and recently completed a 37 day cruise starting in Vancouver BC and finishing in Sidney Australia. I am currently visiting family in Wellington NZ. and return home to Toronto on December 25th, 2022, My biggest challenge these days in lugging around a POC and remembering to charge the batteries!!
