I wish everyone the best and more that has ipf. My oldest brother was diagnosed two years ago this month with it, and we lost him a short two weeks later. The experience brought home to my family just how precious life is, and going through the experience, learning about ipf and other illnesses, several in our family decided to become donors.

I am so sorry about your brother. Did he have symptoms for a long time before diagnosis IPF is a very personal disease. No two patient are the same. I actually am one of the lucky ones. 11 years, but getting worse. Thank you for sharing. Sometimes, because it is rare one feels all alone and very misunderstood.
