Struggling to Breath with Pulmonary Fibrosis

June 15: Every year about 20,000 Americans die from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a disease that eventually halts breathing though scarring and thickening of the tissue — yet doctors still don’t know what causes it. Dr. Nancy Snyderman and NBC's Robert Bazell take a look at one patient’s story.

NBC's TODAY Show will focus on the disease in an interview with California patient Bob O'Rourke, who suffers from the disease and will die from it unless he receives a lung transplant in time.
