How Are Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Treatments Advancing?
Sixty-six year old Dan Castner was living life to the fullest when he started experiencing difficulties in breathing. While he worked in the outdoor industry for more than 40 years and was used to biking, climbing, camping, skiing and hiking, in March of 2012 his life completely changed. Castner was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), a disease that deepens the tissue and makes lungs thick, stiff and even scarred.
