Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. But pulmonary Fibrosis is end stage lung disease.  Till date there is no cure for this. It is progressive disease. Patient has to take oxygen, steroid, bucolic, nebulizer etc. lifelong Life expectancy is less than 2-3 years. And if complicated with CHF (Congestive Heart Failure) the prognosis is even worse. Life expectancy in such case is less than 1-2 years. You have to accept the situation and fate.
