Good morning all, I was told that I have COPD about two two weeks ago . My family doctor did a chest x-ray and told me that I needed a cat scan because she saw a small spot on my right upper lobe . The day after the scan she called and said she wanted me to see a pulmonologist. I haven’t made the appointment yet because I’m scared of what they’ll say. I’m 54 and I I’m keeping this to myself ( my sister is the only one I have shared this with) . I can’t bring myself to tell my husband of 30+ years . My smoking has been the biggest issue in our marriage 😢He has never smoked so I believe he doesn’t understand the addiction . Any advice would be appreciated
