Multifocal Adenocarcinoma of the lung, continual recurrences

YEAH!! I have COPD and emphysema from smoking for 35 years. Sometimes it's difficult to tell which one affects me most. When I have a COPD flare-up, it's usually for a short period of time and I can help with some tricks of the trade.
Do you have any Vic?

My CT-scans don't talk about COPD, although it got added to my list of health issues, maybe because they sent me home from the hospital with night oxygen (which I no longer need). However, the last scan mentions "Stable probable UIP pattern fibrotic interstitial lung disease, mildly increased compared to scan six months ago". Not sure what that means for me. I have been increasing my exercise load in cardiac rehab and oxygen levels holding well (88 or higher during exercise). I can easily walk my usual 35–40-minute route. Despite having VAT surgery, Covid, coronary stent, and even an isolated arthritic flareup of the hands in the last six months, I am currently walking around like nothing happened.
