Short Bio

Lived in northern California for last 45 years. Every autumn the smoke from central valley rice fields surrounds us and for last 4 years with forst fires our air quality has been in the red zone for months at a time. Had a CT scan in 2020 reporting beginnings of PF but my physician was looking for something else so she did not tell me. I asked her for a new CT this year because of lower right chest pain. Again, she did not tell me of IPF but I had xrays sent to my chiropractor who told me of PF findings. Now have a Pulmonologist and am looking for new primary physician.
