Question 1

I'm really worried about my mom's recent X-ray results. She's diabetic and had a heart bypass back in 2012. The X-ray mentioned something about fibrosis in both upper lobes, and I've been reading up on fibrosis, especially pulmonary fibrosis. It seems so scary since it's apparently incurable and can be fatal. I really dont want to lose her. Can you tell me more about what this means and what we should do next?

Accepted Answer

I understand your concern, and it's completely natural to worry. Fibrosis in the lungs can sometimes be related to conditions like diabetes or previous heart surgery, but it doesn't always mean pulmonary fibrosis or anything fatal. It's important to follow up with the doctor who can assess her overall health and guide you on the next steps for treatment and management.
