    Hi Jay,

    Good luck with your scan today.  I understand the extreme anxiety when discovering about ILD.  I am no expert and could be wrong in my reassurances but keep in mind that Pulmonary Fibrosis is rare.  Also, you sound young and it primarily strikes those around age 70.  There are always exceptions, but the odds are in your favor.  Also, the fact that you can exercise ok is a good sign.  There are other things, some benign, that can cause shortness of breath (anxiety being one of them).  So hold tight, get the scan and results and go from there.

    I am in the same boat as you today as I have a 1:00 telephone appointment with my pulmonologist to review my latest CT scan results and I am out of my mind with anxiety.  So I understand.

    Sending best wishes.
