    It matters because I have children.

    I was diagnosed with IPF four years ago. My father died from this disease in 1995 and my brother past away last week. There seems to be a genetic component in our family and I am  going for genetic test in a few weeks. Not sure what they will do. I asked for testing when I was first diagnosed but they only told me my telomers were shorter then normal for my age.
