@ckscoville I went for five sessions of pulmonary rehab. I think it is valuable for people to 1) Learn to exercise and how hard to push themselves 2) Monitor oxygen and heart rate in real life circumstances - they have higher quality oximeters to get more accurate readings. That said 1) I was disappointed in the place I went to because it was small, equipment crowded also meaning one is too close to others who may be sick 2) I was shocked that they started me when there was no respiratory therapist that day 3) There was no progress report and they recorded very little. I have no idea if they sent something to my doctor. That is why I created my own report to track things.
I stopped going both because I saw no further value and also I started to have pain symptoms following radiation treatment (painful to take deep breath) and doctor suspected fractured rib...
