A Close Relative Has Been Tentatively Diagnosed With Pulmonary Fibrosis.
A close relative has been tentatively diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis. He was placed a medication that had very severe dermatologic side effedfts. He was schedule for a biopsy yesterday but the "shadow" seen on x-ray/CT was now "empty" on MRI so biopsy cancelled. Also apparently has swollen lymph nodes in his groin area. He is becoming increasingly apprehensive and frustrated with no real diagnosis.
