If you have pulmonary fibrosis and COPD you should definitely be seeing someone.

I am no doctor but yes that sounds like to many! Ask your pulmonologist why so many

@A MyCOPDTeam Member I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you but do agree you should have a reliable doctor. It's truly terrible that the "system" didn't disclose all you've gone through. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you and may this doctor be "the one".

Hi thanks for the replies I have seen another GP today he's given me another course of steroids and antibiotics and arranged a chest x-ray next week he doesn't understand why I'm no longer seeing my hospital consultant apart from me moving briefly but would be chasing that up he wants to see me again after the x-rays he agrees so many infe tions and flare ups should have flagged up a problem especially with having throat cancer which also wasn't available on the system until he read the letter from hospital it hadn't been updated since biopsy a year ago IV had three surgeries since then . Hopefully he will be the one that helps me . Hope your breathing easy today x
