What questions would you ask your Dr about stage 4 COPD?

Posted by lesleys56 @lesleys56, 5 days ago

I've asked my Dr questions about prognosis and he seems reluctant to answer questions. I get the feeling it's because he doesn't want me to worry but instead, stay positive. How can I stay positive if my questions aren't answered? That only makes me get into my head.

What questions would you ask your Dr?

I asked him about lung pain and about the best way to regulate my air . Discuss sputum . He is kind of just holding my hand here . I am stage 4 and 79 . I don’t know, just like most of us what my exact prognosis is . I don’t know how long I will survive with this . I do know that I am going to do the best I can to feel the best I can . I am going to live the rest of my life . There are a lot of younger people that will pass before I do . It depends on the card one drew . Then there is always the bus! So no worries . Live every day !
