I was dianoised in 1982 by biopsy of the lung. This a serious disease if it stays with you,and it does for 80-90% of those that have it. I suggest you look up this disease on heallink, they have a good amount of info on the subject I myself am now on oxygen and a host of medicines. I still get around thought. Just don't let the disease control you totally. Do all you can do. My most important message is to watch your weight. Don't let it get out of hand for in the long run this will be very important. I did not realize this and now there is really nothing much I can do about it, but I still try. Hope you are one of the lucky ones where is goes into remission and never return. Hey it can happen.
