When I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) we were provided with very limited useful information on how my wife and I could get through this very bad news. This book documents our journey, based on my daily diary, allowing better communication with my doctors, monitoring my health and develop a plan to survive. Our goal was always to have a good life. I hope this information is helpful to others who must face a similar diagnosis. If you, a friend, caregiver, spouse, or family member are dealing with a devastating disease, this book is intended to provide a story of lessons learned and a message of hope. Life will get better.
