Guest guest Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 Hello all New and first post. So not sure what I am doing, I have read some of the postings and can say it’s nice to listen to what others have to say that “know” My family is supportive but I don’t think they truly understand. I was diagnose in 06 and had the bronchoscopy and then open biopsy They gave am a list of things that is wrong and IPF being one. The doctors want me to have a CT every 6 months to check progress. I worked in a chemical plant for 13 years and had Nemours exospheres and a few hospital trips to all kinds of chemicals, Chlorine, asbestos and Hydrochloric and sulfuric acid to name just a few. I read that these can be a cause but when I talked to the Doctors about this it’s like they don’t want to here it. I have not been back to the doctor since 06. It’s harder and harder working and to do the everyday things. I just DON”T want to go back to the doctor (dog and pony show) Is there a chart or something I could look at to see where I am at or what to expect? I want to distinguish between getting old and? Thanks for listing Walt "Dont be afraid of dying. Be afraid of the unlived life" Quote
