But there is really no easy answer to your question. Without having a diagnosis of the exact lung condition no one would be able to answer about treatment, it effectiveness, and/or stopping progression.
Asthma (even adult onset from AI disease) is treatable. Interstitial lung disease is different based upon BOTH severity and what is the underlining AI condition. Without more info, it's impossible to guess.
Let's reassess your question after you get more results.

I got a copy of my CT scan dated June 15, 2012.
Below is the complete paragraph comparing the recent with my January 1, 2011 scan:
"In the interim the patient has developed progressive fibronodular densities in the medial segment of hte right middle lobe which is greaether than on the previous examination. This could represent superimposed infiltrate and pneumonia on chronic lung changes. The remainder of the examination in unchanged. The left lung remains clear. The heart is normal in size..."
IMPRESSION (June 15, 2012):
"
Progressive fibronodular opacity in the medial segment of the right middle lobe which could represent an infectious or imflammatory process. The examination is otherwise unchanged and unremarkable.
Please, what does this mean?
