Great news nanny. I'm just envious, "6 month review"??? Had mine in January .... first one in TWO YEARS!
My surgery nurse is hopeless, so I'm not really surprised, diagnosed 4 years ago and two years ago she did spirometry (she is hopeless at reading the results) and confirmed to me that I DIDN'T HAVE COPD! I thanked her for curing me and got up to leave before she decided to get a second opinion ... seems I relapsed in the minutes it took to get the second opinion.
I can only cope with this amount of humour on a bi-annual basis!
Hi ,,That's terrible ,I'm lucky ,,I have excellent care ( hubby daily ) and I have the COPD nurses number between 9 am to 5 pm 5 days a week,and they will come out to me as and when I need them ,I also see them when I'm at the gym ( when I'm well ) two days a week so if I need any help they're always there,,,,,I also have a good GP ,,,although it's sometimes difficult to see him ,,,,I see the COPD specialist nurse practioner every 3 months and I see my consultant every six months and have lung function tests each time,
My life is too precious to be treated the way you have been treated ,maybe it's time for you to speak up ,and tell them your NOT satisfied with your care plan ,
I wish you well ,take care ,

Excellent news Nanny, you must be chuffed to bits. Definitely doing things the right way. It's good to have it reinforced with the tests. Long may you do well
Hi Jennifer,it's brilliant news isn't it ,,,I couldn't believe it ,,,,I was expecting something totally different after the last 3 months ,take care xx
