Pulmonary fibrosis is a different disease process than lung cancer. The people who participate here are LC patients and caregivers. A search of the various communities here did not turn up a pulmonary fibrosis board.
A quick intern t search revealed that Mayo Clinic handles 1200 of these cases annually, perhaps they have a nurse Navigator who can help find some answers. I hope they can help you.
