Hi Wendy,
I am so sorry to hear your news. Lung fibrosis is lung scarring – and all lung scarring is not necessarily terminal. I am glad you will be able to see your dr, After a year, (rehab and life changes) I am doing much much better. I went for a second opinion at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in NYC (telehealth) and am under the care of a pulmonologist, not my primary care doctor. Please try not to panic, get referred to a pulmonologist with experience with COVID, and ask for a CATSCAN too. Some of the scarring could be from pneumonia. Not a dr, but please try to relax, they are learning more and more each day. Sara
