Cryptogenic Organizing Pneumonia (COP): Any success in treating?

Hi! Just got back from Mayo Clinic. There might be a correlation between GERD and COP.....I also have a Hiatal Hernia that needs to be fixed as small amounts of my stomach acid most likely get into my lungs. Also I was taken off of Prednisone (THANK HEAVENS) and will be on a l dose of Bactrim for the rest of my life ( I'm 56). The main Pathologist is reviewing my slides from my lung biopsies (3 of them)...so now we wait again....but I truly feel like someone will finally figure out the "cause and effect".....((Prayers))

I was told my COP was caused from me aspirating stomach acid into my lungs on a nightly basis. I have had to have an esophagealectomy because the acid was so severe I got Barrettes Esophagus too. I also have Nodules in my lungs and went into respiratory failure during a lung biopsy that put me in ICU on a ventilator for 2 weeks in a coma.
