Fibrosis

Post a new topicby Guest on Mon May 27, 2002 7:48 pm


My doctor told me that I have 68% oxygen level in my blood and that I might have fibrosis in my lungs. Does he mean cystic fibrosis or something else? I am a female, 58 years old. Thank you for any help

cystic fibrosis is a specific disease and not just fibrosis. it usually is diagnosed in childhood but there are individuals who have been diagnosed later in life. You need to ask your doctor about the fibrosis as I do not have the information necessary to tell you any more specific to your condition.
