Former personal trainer, Dave was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) this year, at the age of 50.
My mother Daksha was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis (PF) in 2014. I became her full-time carer as well as working as a lawyer.
We lost our father and uncle to pulmonary fibrosis, and our mother was told the condition could be genetic but there was no testing to prove this.
In 2022 my own life changed in one hour, when at the age of 32 I was diagnosed with hypersensitivity pneumonitis, a form of pulmonary fibrosis.
