I have had declining health issues for several years and the doctor believes that IPF maybe the cause. I'm in Florida my breathing has become labored (on oxygen part time) and I have episodes of waking up gasping for air and it's very scary. I also underwent Rituxan chemotherapy for kidney disease several years ago and I've read there maybe a connection? You are all brave people and I wish you well.
I should have added that I was hospitalized with Pneumonia and the flu and I can't stop coughing and wheezing for over 5 months. Has anyone had experience with the Rituxan? Thank you.
The brave ones are those (like you) who go forward without knowing where they will end up. Best of luck. This is a nice site. Reach out.

Hello Robert33305:
Sorry to hear of your health issues.
I have never heardof any connection between chemotherapy and IPF. Your CT Scan will give you and your medical advisor a clearer picture of what is going on.
Good luck to you.
