Hi Glenver, You have posted (with time difference) when few are posting on forum. You are not the only one who feels so depressed (so sorry your marriage ended at the same time- a lot to cope with). You will feel better if you log on tomorrow and find the support that is here for you. Kaye

Evening.

I'm so sorry you feel so ill. This illness is horrible and you have the added burden of the cancer. Do you have any family close by, I know we're miles away but somebody is always on the forum to chat to, please don't think you can't talk about how you feel even if you would rather PM we've all been there when the black cloud descends.

You say your Emphysema is mild so there's a lot you can do with diet and exercise and that in turn will make you feel better. I don't know how things work where you are but we're encouraged to do a Pulmonary Rehab courses here.

Your not alone with this.

I hope you can get through this difficult time, we all wish you well. I would say devote all your energy and thoughts to your health, eat nourishing food, exercise and rest. Follow your doctor's advice and confide in him exactly how you feel, mentally and physically. Give yourself special treats, whatever pleases you - you are the important person right now. Best wishes, Iris x

Hi, Glenver - really feeling for you at this time. When it's really hard to keep going, try faking it to make it. Do all the things you have to do, whether you want to or not. Following the daily routine is as much a medicine as tablets and inhalers. And try not to look at the future too much at the moment: just concentrate on getting through today. All the best, M.

Thinking of you! Hang in there friend. If you're not satisfied after seeing your doctor, ask for a second opinion and see a pulmonologist at a good medical center. So sorry about your wife leaving you, some people just can't handle tough times and others are just rotten. Keep a positive attitude, you can beat this! Plenty of good folks here to chat with, all kind and positive folks. Stay off chat sites that are all doom & gloom as they only make you feel sad.
