A while ago, I posted about my uncle who hadPulmonary Fibrosis .. and died not long after he was diagnosed. Well today my mom said she was diagnosed with the same disease. I'm just so overwhelmed right now .. it doesn't seem real .. to say that its a fatal disease ... and at such a young age. I know my uncle died quickly because he was at the last stages before they caught it .. mom says she is in the early stages but from what I've been reading up on there is still not much of an expectancy and its almost impossible to diagnose how long a person with the disease will remain healthy...

I'm sure a lot of you have dealt something like this before .. I'm looking for a little something to know that I can and will accept this .. I'm just so shocked and upset right now. As well, I now have thoughts that maybe this is hereditary too .. if both my uncle and mom got it ...

This is just too much!
