Finally--results of my daughter's Scans and Biopsies. She underwent Bronchoscopy and next day CT Needle Guidance to get tissue from tumors in lung. Word is now--not cancer but Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis---this is the disease my Dad died from at age 80. She is 46. She is coughing so bad and out of breath if she talks much at all. There is no cure. Her Dr. has been out of town-guessing with school age children and Spring Break. Gets back Thurs so maybe he will get her in quickly to discuss the severity and her options. Her case has escalated so quickly in these last 6 months. Please continue praying and I will update when I know more. I am so worried.

Checking in on you Patti to see if you got any different news. Still praying.

Please let us know after your visit to the doctor. My thoughts are with you all.

Prayers and hugs for your daughter and the whole family.
Hugs, Lidia
