Scarred but Standing: Pulmonary Fibrosis Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe the path to diagnosis — often delayed, often mistaken for something else — through the adjustment to life with a progressive lung condition: the medications, the pulmonary rehabilitation, the supplemental oxygen, and for some, the road toward transplant evaluation. Writers speak about the emotional work of uncertain timelines and the way ordinary things — a walk, a conversation — take on new weight.

Who it's for

For those newly diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis, those further into the journey, and the families and caregivers who want to understand what this experience asks of everyone it touches.
