I am an Army vet. I get VA care. I’ve had stage 4 copd for about ten years. I’ve had two lung cancer surgeries and take infusions but I still get around at 73. I enjoy riding my motorcycles fishing and most of all reading and studying my Bible. I have to work out regularly to keep my breathing strong and stay active but it’s well worth it. I hope everyone is having a a good day.

The VA has been involved in all my care for past 15 years. For the most part I have no complaints but do most definitely have to be my own stringent advocate.
