There are numerous 'Breather's' groups in Cornwall - they are not BLF groups but they are award winning groups ran by patients for pateints. They meet weekly. I am not sure how long the Falmouth one has been going but here is the contact info: breathers.org.uk/local-grou...

Theres nothing much in Devon either. I have googled it and there is not much there. Can you see if you can find one in Devon please Parvati? South Devon. x

Hello Mike. I live near Truro and will be looking up local groups. Thank you for bringing the subject up.

I was diagnosed in June and the surgery gave me a Ventolin inhaler and sent me on my way.
