My husband is dying of COPD also so I can really relate to everything about this...it's an awful awful thing to not be able to breath. |
Villette - thank you!! I am so sorry about your husband! My dad had that also - he was also diagnosed years ago with mild emphysema(sp?) but none of that got really bad until he was diagnosed with the lung cancer! It's horrible to see someone who just can't catch their breath no matter how hard they try!! My father was on oxygen for the last good bit of his life and it's so hard when you know that even that doesn't help all that much!! My daughter and my nephew were the closest to him!! They (my parents) had custody of my nephew since he was a baby so he was like his dad!! When he died I was sooo upset because my son was only just two years old and doesn't remember him!! Then my other nephew was born one month later and never even saw him! He was the best with kids!!!! He was only 58!
Sorry so long!! Again I am sorry you are going through this now too Villette!! I pray he is doing and continues to do well!! It is amazing that they don't have better treatments!!
