This may not apply to your situation but take it for what its worth:
My wife received the same diagnosis months ago. Not happy with the Dr’s original diagnosis procedure, and with urging from our son, a respiratory therapist, she went for a second diagnosis. This Dr. did a more thorough and proper procedural examination. The results were she did not have pulmonary fibrosis at this time. A follow up exam last week confirmed she is ok at this time. She will continue to monitor with Dr. Ortiz in Leesburg. If you are looking for a second opinion she highly recommends him. Best of luck.
