When our family learned that my 49 year old husband had Pulmonary Fibrosis, we didn't even know what it was or what it meant. Since his diagnosis, we have learned that it is a serious and progressive disease which consists of the scarring of the lungs.



There is no definitive cause and no definitive cure.



It took my husband's life and the lives of countless friends that were made through learning about the disease.



This blog is meant to journal our personal experience and to help raise awareness about Pulmonary Fibrosis.
