Any PFI patients out there. Lost two lobes (Bi Lobectomy) and high dose radiotherapy on remaining lobe.
I need to talk to real people and give the doctors and consultants a break.

Hi sandmartin
The autom-immune problem causing my lung fibrosis and pulmonary htpertension is Sjogren's syndrome. This is first time I have 'met' anyone with sjogren's as cause.

I am not too sure how many of us there are, but it is nice to know someone else has it! Not too pleasant at the moment but like everything there are always highs and lows and the best thing to do is keep smiling! I joined the BSSA but they never seem to mention the lung problems. Anyway keep smiling Maggie
I too have pulmonary fibrosis and saw the X rays for the first time last Wednesday. Had to giggle at my husband when he said 'that doesn't look too bad, I can see both lungs very clearly.' Both black. I'm on the chemo route, cyclophosphamide (finished) and now waiting to begin cycle of retuximab. Lots of steroids etc. Also on oxygen 24/7 high concentrations and flows. I have stamped my foot and will not be put out for any treatment. I refuse to be ventilated. You can talk to me anytime as well. I am real stubborn and do no feel unwell most of the time.
