Anyone out there living with pulmonary fibrosis? My friend has just been
diagnosed. Advice appreciated on ways to improve quality of life using
oxygen except when sedentary.

Greta, the best thing your friend can do is get on a transplant list
somewhere. My younger Brother was told he was too old to get on the list
(60). He went in the hospital for a lung biopsy and never came out. He spent
5 weeks in ICU and they never could stop the bleeding. His Doctor told him
the disease "usually runs it's course in 5 years". He lasted 5 weeks.
