| Short Bio | Following a breathing test, I was told that my lungs only expand 75%. They want to test for fibrosis. After googling PF I became horrified but more calm now. My concern at this point is that they scheduled the CT Scan to look for fibrosis on September 18, 2019. (I was told this on July 10, 2019) I feel like I’m going to live in total fear for the remainder of the summer now. Do you think that’s a long time to wait for this test? (Testing in 2016 indicated decreased lung expansion.) |
