Singing with the Wigan warblers more improvements means no rush to surgeries

Check up after my cat scan was expecting to hear if suitable for endobroncial valves

Feb 2016 referral for lung transplant assessment fev1 had dropped to 29%

August 2016 fev1 45% everything else still poor repeat cat scan in new year

Yesterday fev1 still 40% gas transfer low but walking abilities 50% improvement

5 excerpations last year 2 this same period of time

So too soon to risk valves review in 9 months Dr B (edited) says keep doing what I'm doing singing and exercising with the warblers it's clearly working. His words

It is a great way of improving the breathing, unless of course you have to listen to my singing!

Hahaha it's not about singing well lol Wiganwarblers aren't about being perfect.

It's the breathing technics & the light exercises more than the singing that's the key.

We are more a singalong type group yes we pratisice extension of the breath but the singing actually only a tiny part of it.

But you get better the more you do it I promise you
