@astaingegerdm- Good morning! It is so nice to meet you. I am a mentor in the Lung Cancer and Lung health groups. I also travel around to others from time to time. I had to look up your illness on google, as I had never heard of it before. You've been through quite a bit with this. Recovery can take a lot of time and can be very exhausting. I'm glad that you are recovering and able to do more of what you love!

@merpreb , Thank you!
Lung cancer and pulmonary diseases are tough illnesses to cope with. My mother- in law had lung cancer and I helped caring for her- many years ago. Now I’m watching a woman younger than me wait for a lung transplant- an inherited disease. She plays tennis with oxygen tube in a back pack. She changes them every 20-30 minutes. Amazing how everyone deals with a dismal diagnosis.
