Partner just diagnosed... trying to keep it together
My first post on here, and not asking questions or looking for answers... just an outlet for me. My partner was hospitalised in Feb for sudden liver issues, then got pneumonia and on critical care unit, wasn't expected to make it. He did, but in the process of scans they found a mass on his chest.

Since my last post 9 months ago I had a difficult end to 2019. I was hospitalised for pneumonia in October which turned out

Men's blood contains greater concentrations of enzyme that helps COVID-19 infect cells.
Evidence from a large study of several thousand patients shows that men have higher concentrations of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) in their blood than women. Since ACE2 enables the coronavirus to infect healthy cells, this may help to explain why men are more vulnerable to COVID-19 than women

INHALERS
At the present time I take a Seebri in the morning & use Bricanyl as a reliever - it has been suggested by my consultant to use Altibro breezhaler - does anyone have experience of switching to this ie is it better than Seebri? I had an op for lung cancer in 2017 & was diagnosed with COPD in 2016.
