I would maintain regular follow ups, I was diagnosed with Interstitial Lung Disease, from the time I was diagnosed with a considerable amount of opacity with multiple nodules to being admitted into Intensive Care was 8 months. In other words, my condition was found when it was too late! I went downhill rapidly from that point with opportunistic infections such as Pseudomonas and fluid retention in and around my lungs. I only survived because of a lung transplant. So be vigilant and ensure the condition doesn't worsen. I am not trying to cause you any grief just wanted to share with you, my story.
