Hi windwalker and all! This is interesting because IPF reminds me of NTM! I never heard of this disease until I got it! Well in 2002 it was the very first time I heard about IPF. That’s when my late husband of 29 years was diagnosed IPF. We lived in NY at the time and I tried to get him the best doctors in NY. But he did not get a transplant and he died 18 months later in 2004. I hope and pray that this will be available soon and people could get some help. He was only 54.:) life goes on! Rita.

@america, Oh, Rita, that is very sad. Do you know if his IPF was congenita,l or was he exposed to something on the job? That must have been extremely hard for you to watch him struggle towards the end of his disease process.
