@merpreb Merry- thanks for asking! Time flies- I'm almost ready to hit Mayo for my next quarterly check. And, knock wood, feel better than ever. (I recently noticed that in a yoga class just doing a basic child's pose how my lungs & I feel less "claustrophobic".) On the flip side, I can certainly relate to the fears that come up here with COPD and such after recently seeing how Leonard Nimoy's wife has reached out to get people to wake up to how it so significantly affected him. Knowing that it's there taking a nap in me is just fine on some days and then when someone mentions it I wonder how I got blessed with both it and the cancer!

@bluelagoon- Hi! We've missed hearing from you. I agree that COPD is a formidable foe. Just keep doing what you are doing to stay healthy. I recently spoke with my oncologist and she said that not-smoking is the biggest no-no for COPD and unless there is a big change that needs a follow-up that we should concentrate on how to remain as healthy as we can and not worry about it. I know, easier said than done. I'm with you on the cancer and COPD, We can only do our best. Are you doing any inhalers?
