New Mountains to Climb: a journey to lung transplant and beyond is the story of one man's experience with pulmonary fibrosis, from diagnosis to lung transplantation, and life afterward. Here are Jim's introductory comments: "Imagine being told you have a disease you have never heard of, a disease with no known cause, for which there is no known effective medical treatment and no cure. Your future has been instantly shortened to three to five years. I want to share with you my journey with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)." Physicians, others diagnosed with IPF, and their caregivers have endorsed it as an uplifting, hopeful, and forward looking story.
