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.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Lung Health Support Group.

@tmmmrlts- It is so very good to hear from you. Good for you going back to school. You will never regret this. I think that you know it will also help your healing from the loss of your husband and give you a chance to stay focused. Don't be afraid of letting go and not feeling guilty of anything that that you do not need to be. Where will you be spending the holidays?

@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.

@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?
