    Gordon,

    I too had IPF. Was diagnosed officially in 2007. Had a lung biopsy in January of ’07 to confirm the diagnosis. It came out of nowhere. The part you mentioned in the video about it being a “sneaky little thing” is so true. It’s amazing to me how unknown the disease is to the general public.

    The good news is I had a double-lung transplant at Vanderbilt on July 3, 2008 and I am doing well. God has blessed and we are very grateful for His provision.

    Thank you for your story!
