I was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis one year ago based on CT scans and breathing tests. One doctor immediately told me to start taking a very expensive pill called Ofev. With Medicare Advantage insurance it cost me $3,000 for one month supply and then dropped to about $899 per month. Worse than the cost, however, were the possible side effects. So I decided NOT to start on this drug. Another specialist agreed to hold off on the drug and my second breathing test indicated to him that I was "stable." I am scheduled for another breathing test in the next week so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I remain "stable." I do not hook up to oxygen at all. I walk the golf course (9 holes) even in the winter months when the fairways are very wet in western Oregon. I take several medicines already for other issues -- allergies, thyroid, cholesterol -- so I really don't want to start on Ofev. Any advice from this support group.
