Guest guest Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Hi, I'm new here and need to hear from others who feel as old as I do. I'm only 43 but my body is about 20 years older. I've battled Hodgkin's Lymphoma 7x since 1995 and am still in the fight. Now I have PF, am on oxygen 24/7, use a bi-pap and get out of breath with any movement. I am in a rehab program 3x a week and was told I have a week diaphragm too due to being laid up after some stomach surgery, so I am going to try singing lessons to help me breath differently. I am so tired from breathing, it takes so much energy. I am in a support group for the cancer and in private therapy for everything else. But when does your quality of life take priority over trying endlessly to beat all these health issues? I have a king of a husband and a huge loving support system but none of that can help me breath any better. Sorry for complaining so soon, it's just so tough and I know someone out there has walked in my shoes, I just need to know how do you keep on walking???
