I am in need of a ' hug' . After 2 xrays and a CT scan I was told on Thursday I have Pulmonary Fibrosis! Urgent referral is in the pipeline to see a chest specialist. I am very anxious of course , no symptoms other than a persistent cough. My DH has Alzheimers Disease and I can't afford to be ill !!
I haven't told our 'children ' yet but have shared the news with 2 close friends and my sister.
Thankyou for reading it helps to write it down!

Hi shelflife, I am sorry about your diagnosis. I have no experiences to share but I do hope you are accessing all the available help for your husband - which will in turn help you.

Sorry, shelflife, just reread that and realise it sounds patronising. What i meant to say was that you could be forgiven for missing things as you have such a lot to cope with.
