Does anyone else here have pulmonary fibrosis?
In January, I was diagnosed with COPD and mild emphysema. Last week they performed a CT scan of my lungs. The results confirmed the prior diagnosis. It also found that I have pulmonary fibrosis. Does anyone else have this and what works for you to relieve the symptoms? Thanks!
Hi cajunrus, and thank you for your post. This can be a considerable challenge, managing both COPD and pulmonary fibrosis. Is the physician who provided you with the diagnoses treating you?
While I'm hopeful you will hear back from community members with their own stories, I thought you might want to look over the material we have published here on our COPD.net website that focuses on pulmonary fibrosis. For your convenience, here is the link that will connect you to those articles: https://copd.net/?s=pulmonary+fibrosis.
I do hope you find them to be helpful.
Please know, you are always welcome here in our online community.
Wishing you well,
Leon (site moderator COPD.net)Thanks for your response, Leon. I was just diagnosed with this last week. My pulmonologist cant see me before june.
I will check out the articles that you mentioned.
Thanks
RayHi again, cajunrus (Ray), and thanks for your reply, too.
Sorry the pulmonologist cannot see you until June - that is a while to wait, although it's only 2 months. If you are not struggling with symptoms, the 2-month wait may not be too bad for you. What do you think?
