What best describes you?

Patient

Short Bio

Retired Civil Engineer. CT Scan in April 2022  says I have UIP.  Two PFTs were done in April and August 2022. August one shows an improvement to the readings. Pulmonologists suggested to do another one in six months time and see the results before taking any medications.  Second CT scan was done in May 2023 and found that  no change in my conditions over one year period.

Type of Pulmonary Fibrosis?

IPF

How long have you or the person that you are caring for had PF?

Diagnosed in April 2022. I had a cough for more than six months. No other symptoms. Recent X-Ray shows scarring in the lungs. CT Scan confirmed the UIP.
