Please let us know how you get on, good luck with the op, and do your daughter proud by walking her down that aisle no matter what. Have a good day and take care of yourself 😊 Bernadette xx

Hi, it's good you can get a lung reduction, see also the mail last weekend. Saw an article that relates to a steam treatment, ask your chest physician about it.

Hope the wedding goes OK but don't overdo it with the after hours reception.
