@andycapp kudos to you for catching it early - I hope the meds help you feel better soon! The last time I had pneumonia going up to the 160mcg Breyna inhaler (rather than the 80mcg) helped the most.

@mamajite I’ve been referred to a pulmonologist. She ordered another CT scan which indicates that original mass is stable and size mildly decreased. However, upper left lobe nodule increased in size (1.0x1.2 compared to previous 0.6. Pulmonary fibrosis and ground glass opacities improved.
Pulmonologist has prescribed anti fibrotic med (Perfenidone) to hopefully minimize the ongoing fibrosis. Thankfully, I am titrating off of Prednisone. I was on 60 mg for over two months and have titrated gradually to 30 and hope to be off of the steroid by 9/24.
Anybody on anti fibrotic meds? I’ve been told to expect diarrhea, nausea and sun sensitivity.
Onward and upward!
