At the age of 71 I have just been diagnosed with this condition. When I googled it, it came up as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis which my younger sister died from 2 years ago. Of course I am now worried. I got my GP referring me to the Respiratory Unit at my local hospital as I want to know my prognosis. Apparently ILD is an umbrella term so I could have something that has a better prognosis. I have an appointment in March when I will have tests done etc. Do any fellow Gransnetters suffer from this and how have they got on?

Please stop googling! I have no idea about your condition but I do know the Google will only come up with dire prognoses (sp?) I do hope you get some answers soon. 
I Googled heart failure. According to Google, I should be dead. I'm still here. 
Best not to Google, it never ends well.
I hope you are able to see someone soon.
