Call from Sher's pulmonologist

[Guest guest]

Dr called today w/results on the testing I had a couple of weeks ago.

There has been some progression but nothing gigantic. That's about it in a nutshell.

We did discuss the change in my IPF dx to NSIP (by another Dr.) and this one says he does not agree. I definitely have a form of PF but he is not sure "what form". He says I have an "atypical" form because of the pattern of progression (or lack of).

But what the hell, it's all PF when the chips are called in, so I'm just not going to focus on it. The way it is is the way it is.

I am very grateful there has been little progression and I did talk with him about being so sob and yet my sats are normal. He says I'm sob because I have a lung disease and my lungs are stiff and will get stiffer. So when I'm sob, sit and rest until I'm better, or if O2 helps, use it. Regardless of what the sats "read".

Now this is a logical answer and one I can understand.
