- Meet Heather Kagel, who was diagnosed with IPF five years ago experiencing breathlessness and a cough that wouldn’t go away. Heather has a genetic mutation that caused her IPF as well as oral cancer. While the disease has slowed her down, Heather tries to stay active and positive. She attends a monthly support group and participates in programs like the PFF Walk and PFF Summit. Heather has found hope in meeting others with IPF and talking about how to best live with the disease.
UPDATE: Heather has received a lung transplant and is recovering well.
The Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (PFF) offers essential programs and resources for people with pulmonary fibrosis. The mission of the PFF is to mobilize people and resources to provide access to high quality care and to lead research for a cure so that people with PF will lead longer, healthier lives.
