Carol Bradley Bursack, Nov 24, 2010

Over the span of two decades author, columnist and speaker Carol Bradley Bursack cared for a neighbor and six elderly family members. Because of this experience, Bradley Bursack created a portable support group, the book "Minding Our Elders: Caregivers Share Their Personal Stories."

 

It's important to follow your doctor's advice. If you aren't comfortable with the doctor who gave you the diagnosis, please get a second opinion. You'll want to keep your COPD as mild as possible, which may mean changes in lifestyle and even in your environment.

Good luck with this. Watch this site for suggestions from readers, however, check out any changes with your doctor.
Take care,
Carol
