4 Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Patients Share Their Stories

The British Lung Foundation has a series of videos featuring idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients sharing their stories. The patients come from all walks of life and their journeys are all very different.

Joyce talks about her life before the lung transplant and how much it has changed for the better since the procedure.

    I was diagnosed with Ipf in April of this year. My question is why is the drug. Companies make the cost of esprit so so high most patients can’t afford it so they die earlier!! So sad
