    William E. Shotts replied to the topic Lung Biopsy in the forum Join the Discussion: Welcome to all PF/IPF Patients 2 months, 1 week ago

    I agree with the numerous comments urging caution when considering a lung biopsy. I received a diagnosis of IPF in October of 2020. My pulmonologist and I began the discussion of treatment. One of my concerns at that time was “are you sure of the diagnosis” to which my pulmonologist replied “the only way to be absolutely sure is to have a lung…[Read more]

    William E. Shotts replied to the topic Starting Ofev in the forum Ofev (Nintedanib) 4 months, 1 week ago

    William E. Shotts replied to the topic Has anyone tried Stem Cell therapy? in the forum Join the Discussion: Welcome to all PF/IPF Patients 1 year, 11 months ago
