Navigating Pulmonary Fibrosis booklet
Our Navigating Pulmonary Fibrosis booklet is written for people who have been recently told that they (or a loved one) has pulmonary fibrosis, but is also helpful for anyone looking to learn more about PF and APF.
This booklet covers:
- about Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis (APF)
- what pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is
- questions to ask your healthcare team
- coming to terms with your diagnosis
- telling friends and family
- support available from APF.
We also have this information available as an online short course, and as part of Navigating PF webinars.
