Looking forward to talking with others who are dealing with this disease, and learning how to cope and manage it.

Welcome, you learn a lot here . Some good and some not so good. I'm thinking about checking out stem cell . My Dr. said no because it wasn't FDA approved. They have 4 or 5 lung facilities here in American that are doing them. I hear it's expensive.

Welcome Vlanes, ask away and we should try to help you. As for coping I take it one day at a time, if my breathing is doing pretty good I make the most of it, if it's on off day I do doing but rest. Make sure you are drinking lot of water and exercise as much as you can. Dr. say's it helps strenghten the lungs.
