Guest guest Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Hi everyone, My name is Vicky and I was diagonised with IPF in April of this year (2006). After becomming short of breathe in FEb, I finally went to my drs. I've had about 11 x rays, a bronchscopy and finally a open lung biopsy done with 3weeks ago. They finally figured out what was wrong after guessing at Farmers Lung, Congestive Heart Failure and fungus. I dont know a lot about this disease, I know I'm on oxygen 24/7...3 liters. My dr has an apt set up for me with a arthritis dr. I'm so worried about my husband, we're been married 30 yrs and I dont know how he will function alone. I am 49, my dr said about 2 yrs. Whta does it mean by stages and how would I figure out what stage I'm in? Thank you all for listening to me, I've been really down and needed some friends who understood..
