About this ebook
Pulmonary Fibrosis: Coping With a Terminal Disease by Robert Post
What do you do when you learn you have Pulmonary Fibrosis, a terminal disease for which there is presently no cure? The author relates his personal experience and explains how he has learned to cope with the disease, products and methods he uses for maintaining health and combating progression of the disease and explains how you can, too.
A linked resources section gives advice on finding and using support groups and Pulmonary Rehabilitation programs. Products and sources are identified that the author has found to be beneficial or vital for health maintenance.
This publication contains frank material that some may find disturbing to read but the author feels the patient and their caregiver must address these issues eventually. The author also feels that being proactive in your care and treatment has multiple benefits including a better quality of life and lifestyle.
This publication is 6,755 words in length. Cover illustration is taken from one of the author's actual CT Scan films.
Updates will be offered as new information becomes available.
