Just diagnosed. Questions about lung tests

I was diagnosed a week ago. I’ve had a CT Scan of my chest and they say I have moderate pulmonary fibrosis. I am being referred to another doctor (I’m assuming a pulmonologist) for additional lung tests. I’m wondering what type tests to expect. Also, how quickly will I get results. I go back to my rheumatologist in May to discuss all the results and where to go from there. I would appreciate any advice. 

Thank you!

Diagnosis is a scary time. I was diagnosed nearly 5 years ago. The lung tests I’ve had done are chest X-rays, chest ct scans and Lung Function tests. I have heard of people getting lung biopsies but even though I was severe they didn’t do that one on me
