When I was first diagnosed with moderate COPD about 6 months ago I was scared, anxious, mad, depressed until I found this book at my local library. It was Copyrighted in 2015 by Dawn Lesley Fielding, RCP, AE-C. She covers lots of topics relating to COPD, since she is a pulmonary therapist. Because the book went right along with what I was learning at Pulmonary Rehab, I decided to purchase the book through Amazon. It has helped calm my fears so I can at least breathe a little easier. For anyone newly diagnosed with COPD, I found it to be a good read.
