A member asked:

I have residual fibrosis on lungs.will i still have the chance to work abroad and local?thank you.hope for your response.

Yes: Fibrosis is used lightly at times like a scar or small fibrosis after an infection. Real pulmonary fibrosis would be different and usually progressive. You seem to have had a good talk with your md and reassured. Relax, enjoy your travel.
