Short Bio

I went to the doctor in December thinking I had Bronchitis because of feeling breathless and a cough. After the pulmonologist saw the results of my CT scan he gave me the IPF diagnosis and told me I have  3-5 years to live! I was in shock as I’m a very active and in good shape woman. Still trying to figure out how to pay for Ofev as I’ve been denied any help from BI because I have too much money! Very frustrating!
