This means you are suffering from interstitial lung fibrosis for which 100% cure is not possible. But you can opt for Stem Cell Therapy ( Autologus Mesenchymal harvested Stem Cells) which can be derived & harvested from your bone marrow aspirate. Though it is a experimental surgery but giving very good results in many patients of interstitial lung fibrosis.
