Exactly one week ago today, my doctor told me that it was time to consider transplant. Without missing a beat, I said yes. The next step is a family meeting on May 2 with the transplant team. Then, hopefully, they will agree to test me further to see if I'm ready and able to be a candidate. I am in their hands. My job is to keep myself as healthy and strong as I can.
This weekend, my husband, family and I celebrated Passover and Easter. Their message - new life and hope - couldn't have been more fitting. That's exactly what I feel. Even though I have been living with this disease for 19+ years, I never really thought I'd have the possibility of a transplant. I always joked that I'd just be too old. Instead, I planned for what I would do as my lung function decreased and my world got smaller.
Yes, that's the best image I can think of to describe how COPD affects your life. At first, I hardly noticed it at all. Even when I had to go on oxygen to exercise, to sleep and to fly, I still could do pretty much anything I wanted to. Then, four years ago, I had to go on oxygen full-time and my world suddenly got smaller. I never could leave my house without first figuring out how much oxygen I would need until I returned. Overnight trips required a whole lot more planning as I had to make sure there would be oxygen there when I arrived.
Then, suddenly, one week ago today, I was given the first glimmer of hope. They still can't cure my COPD, but just maybe I'll be able to get the next best thing, a lung transplant and a whole new life! For the first time, I have hope that I'll be able to see my beautiful grandchildren grow up! I can't think of any better present.
Those of you who have paid attention to this blog, know that I recently published a book, An Alpha-1 COPD Love Story. It's the story of my life with Dr. Gordon L. Snider whom I met after being diagnosed with Alpha-1 COPD. You also know that I haven't paid much attention to this blog since I first started it a few months ago.
Well, I've made a new resolution. From now on, every Monday I will write another post. Some will be about COPD and the need to find a cure. In addition, however, I feel compelled to chronicle my Alpha-1 COPD journey from this point forward. As with my book, I hope that this blog may help someone else, some time, some where.
My diagnosis of Alpha-1 COPD is already one of the best things that ever happened to me. Without it, I never would have met my Alpha-1 COPD community and, above all, my wonderful husband. Now I have been given the gift of hope and new life. In the spirit of Passover and Easter, I want to share it with the world!

ReplyDeleteFor the past 10+ years I have dealt with a lot of people who have come to me asking if herbal remedies will get rid of herpes, usually genital. I always tell people from what I have observed and heard about NATURAL REMEDY and I suggest that they try it for themselves. I have never told anyone that herbal remedy would cure their herpes.
I have never told anyone this because I have never had any physical proof to back that up... until this day.
I have always told anyone who would listen the mystical work herbal remedy do for me when ever I'm in depression, I could say that because if it did that for me, it would do the same for anyone else.
I have also always told people how herbal remedies got my doctor to successfully cured DIABETES, INFERTILITY, CANCERS, PARALYSIS, STDS & INFECTIONS.
And I tell anyone about how herbal remedy got me off the Lysinopril I was taking for my high blood pressure That also normalized within 2months. And I am thankful it did because Lysinopril has since been recalled for turning the livers of hundreds of thousands of people into mush!
And with all the good things herbal remedy has done for my body, I still resisted the urge to tell anyone suffering with herpes that herbal remedy would cure them... but now I am here to tell you differently because I finally came in contact with Dr Utu an African Traditional Herbal Practitioner.
Few days ago I received an email from a young lady and she told me that her doctor has told her that her body is 100% free of any HSV virus. That her herpes has been cured! I could feel her bouncing off the walls through her email... and my heart was just as happy for her.
I have asked her to please post a comment on my YouTube Channel.
I don't know how long she had been infected before she purchased Dr Utu African Traditional Herbal Cure and I do not know anything about the severity of her outbreaks. All I know was that she promised me that she was following the guidelines that Dr Utu gave her to the letter.
I know there are a lot of people who will think this is too good to be true... but I have always believed that herbal remedy was a viable cure for herpes - but without any proof I felt it would be seriously irresponsible to tell anyone that it would.
Please feel free to leave a comment to me but please no negative ones. My company is my life and I have spent over 10 years nurturing a good reputation for myself and my business. I am putting everything on the line here, so please bear with me until we know more.
Why am I risking so much? Why don't I just wait for her? - Are you serious? This is the BIGGEST health breakthrough in my entire lifetime! I'm over 60 and there have been NO CURES for anything since the day I was born! The big pharmaceutical companies all know there is no money in a cure. The money is in teaching you and me to 'live with' and 'manage' deadly, body-wasting and disgusting diseases for our entire lives.
Imagine the joy all over the world when her story breaks! I invite you all to share in that joy with her and with me.

ReplyDeleteI started on COPD Herbal treatment from Ultimate Health Home, the treatment worked incredibly for my lungs condition. I used the herbal treatment for almost 4 months, it reversed my COPD. My severe shortness of breath, dry cough, chest tightness gradually disappeared. Reach Ultimate Health Home via their email at ultimatehealthhome@gmail.com . I can breath much better and It feels comfortable!
Rhonda S.’s COPD made her feel short of breath and like she was constantly dragging. While her inhalers helped some, she just didn’t feel like herself anymore.
ReplyDeleteAfter having life-threatening pneumonia, she knew something had to change. A friend of hers mentioned multivitamin herbal formula restoration treatment, so Rhonda did
some research and decided to receive treatment at the multivitamin herbal cure. “I started to feel better almost right away,” Rhonda said.
And, along with feeling better, she began to do things she couldn’t do before treatment. Now, Rhonda can take showers, work in her flower garden, and she enjoys having more energy. It’s with a great deal of hope, Rhonda says, “I feel more like myself.”
Like Rhonda, you can breathe easier and bring normal life back within reach. If you or someone you love has a chronic lung disease and would like more information, contact them today by calling (+1 (956) 758-7882 to visit their website multivitamincare .org
