Do you handle IPF cases? I have taken OFEV for about 18 months. I'm interested if your methods could be helpful to my case. Thank you.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Visiting Mayo Clinic Support Group.

Welcome to Mayo Connect. Even though Connect is run by Mayo Clinic, its members are patients and caregivers who give support, practical information, and answers. We are not medical professionals, nor do we handle appointment requests.

Every person is different and needs to be evaluated to determine whether Mayo Clinic can provide additional treatment beyond what your current provider is providing. If interested in inquiring about treatment, you can submit an appointment request here, https://www.mayoclinic.org/appointments. You will receive a call to schedule a time to speak with an appointment coordinator. You or your doctor will be given instructions on how to submit relevant medical records, test results, imaging studies, etc.

Mayo Clinic doctors review records sent by you, the patient, or the referring physician carefully to determine if Mayo Clinic can provide additional evaluation/treatment for you.

You might create a new discussion in the Lung Support group (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/lung-cancer/) about your condition and treatment to see if other members can share their experiences at Mayo or with other providers.
