Copd, pulmonary fibrosis, mac bacterial infection and honeycomb lung
My husband has been diagnosed with all four of these and I just want to understand more about what is to be expected. And what I can do to help.

@tmmmrlts- Can you fly to him?
No I haven't got the money and haven't ever flown
@tmmmrlts- Hmmm. DO you have any other ideas? Maybe volunteer?
Merry Volunteer Mentor @merpreb Hi just wanted to post an update. I'm doing okay. I'm still in school to get my diploma I graduate in May. Just wanted to give you some good news since you were there for me. Thank you.
Had a great holiday spent Thanksgiving with my son and daughter. Had a wonderful Christmas we all went to my son's on Christmas eve except one daughter and four grandchildren. then they all came to my house on Christmas day
@tmmmrlts- It's so good to hear from you and your good news! I don't remember you saying anything about school. What are you studying? What diploma will you get? I've missed you.
I went back to school to get my high school diploma. Then I will start to college in august. I am thinking about being a respiratory therapist.
@tmmmrlts- Excellent. Good for you. You've gone from Care taker to HS graduate and will go beyond! What an example you are. Perhaps you would post this on the Caretaker's group to help encourage to move beyond their pain?
So sorry health issues are difficult to deal with. Always keep watching for better means to treat and cope with them. Get a pet if you don't already have one. It will help get you up every morning no matter life's circumstances; gives life purpose and joy as you strive to improve health concerns.
For quitting smoking, ask your doc about Zyban - worked for me after smoking (and trying to quit) for 33 years. Cigarettes just lose their appeal, have no taste or pleasurable feeling if youre taking daily Zyban pill
