Information

Get support

A diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis can leave you feeling scared, isolated and alone, particularly because the disease is not well-known. Support from people who understand can transform how you live with pulmonary fibrosis

None of my friends realise how serious this is. If I had cancer, they’d understand but they just think I’ve got a bad chest.

Support groups

There are around 90 local support groups across the UK for patients with pulmonary fibrosis and their carers which are listed on our website.
