    I too am sorry to hear of your loss. Also a IPF patient, I additionally wonder, was she taking either of the prescribed meds, OFEV or Esbriet?

    Yeah, fifteen years? I am now two weeks from 5 years and feel darn fortunate for that. First on OFEV, with some problems that had me switching to Esbriet. Full dose, 801mg, 3X daily. Before not long ago access to either, OFEV or Esbriet, 5 years would had most likely been the end of it all. Fifteen? There must be more to this story.
