Keep up the walking and maybe even purchase a Microlife Digital Peak Flow and FEV Meter online at Amazon. Easy to use and a good indicator of your progress. Also available online is the small device doctors put on your finger to measure your oxygen level. I don't know how much CellCept costs but my copay is $ 10.00/month. Ask your doctor about it. Good luck to you and keep on increasing your walking time.

Looks like the digital peak flow meter would be a good investment. I noticed they showed a gadget called the Breather. I'm not sure if that is something that would benefit me or not. The respiratory therapists I saw didn't really suggest anything other than exercise and walking. I can get my blood oxygen levels on my Apple Watch so that takes care of that. I have Raynauds so they can't get a reading from the oximeter. Thanks for the suggestions.
