Ms Carol

Hi I’ve got end stage COPD which is soul destroying. I have no quality of life, I stop in bed because a couple steps and I get severely out of breath. Only time I get up is to go loo and it near kills me. I'm in the hospital all the while coz they have not given me home oxygen. I’ve been fighting for it for two years now. It's something to do with CO2... they say I don’t need it, what an absolute load rubbish. I think they think I still smoke! I often wish it would all end but I haven’t the guts to end it.
