I'm new to this whole IPF thing. Last summer I had severe aspiration pneumonia x2 with sepsis. Of course theres scarring. My pulmonologist compared a ct done in Dec of 22 with one done in April/23. The latter is looking better and I'm told the scars have not progressed. (Grown?) I've heard that scars can progress. I wasnt aware. I heard that after 2 years if they havent grown they probably wont. It's been a year and I feel good, no shortness of breath and I do my usual things. No cough, no pain, no hoarseness. So I was originally diagnosed with aspiration pneumonia due to GERD- to possible PF? Now my pulmonologist has set up a phone appt with a lung scarring specialist. ( to be sure, he says). Someone also told me scars can shrink. Is this true? Thanks!
