The term Pulmonary Fibrosis (PF) describes a family of ~ 200 diseases that cause inflammation (swelling) and scarring in the lung. PF can impact almost every aspect of one’s life because it impairs oxygen transport in the body. If you or someone you love is living with PF, the "Pulmonary Fibrosis Patient Guide" from Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation provides an overview of symptoms and underlying causes, as well as information on how the condition is diagnosed, treated, and managed.https://cpff.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/08_05_2026-CPFF-Patient-Guide-5.5-x-8.5-36pp.pdf
