| Short Bio | Hello, I was diagnosed in October of 2022 after years of coughing and the last year couldn’t breathe. I was told I had severe asthma and had many flare ups which caused my shortness of breath. I was told my status is moderate with the right lung more so then left. Last week I was told I have about 5 years of life left. I’m devastated..however, I’m ready to move on and learn more from others like me. |
