Rate of progression depends on many factors. There is no clear cut value. Are you diagnosed as IPF? Regarding safety of lung transplant, it needs proper evaluation of your  total health status including your pulmonary fn, cardiac status and all. That needs to be evaluated at a transplant centre by a trained team
