I also have IPF and am interested in stem cell therapy. Where did you get it done and was it sucessful?

I have been taking Esbriet for the last six months and hsve had minimsl side effects. Had a breathing test yesterdsy and my Pulmonologist told me my breathing has improved since the last test. He stressed that even if there was no improvement, the fact that it has not got worse is what is important. IPF can progressively get worse. Stabilization is good - progression.

Please let me know about the stem cell treatment received.

I did the stem cell therapy but do not know if that helped or not. It is hard to tell what helps. How much of my condition is age (80) vs ailments?? I've never been 80 before. All I know to do is "throw the kitchen sink" at and hope something works. All is in God's timing.
