Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Hi everyone. I am new to the group and my name is Ann. I am still in a state of shock from the diagnosis last Wednesday and perhaps a little in denial. Yet, I would like to draw on your significant knowledge of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis to try to get an answer to a question I have. I do not have some of the symptoms that I have read on the internet, but the doctor said I had some scarring at the bottom of each lung. He asked if I'd had pneumonia other than when I was a child and I said not to my knowledge. Since I came home I remembered that I had breast surgery some years ago (10-12) and I am wondering if the scarring from that would be showing up on the images. I know this is something that you may not be qualified to answer, but since the scars from that surgery are very close to what I perceive as the lower portion of my lungs, it seemed possible to me. I haven't gone for my second opinion yet, but of course I will do that too. Your responses will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
