I am an Army vet. I get VA care. I’ve had stage 4 copd for about ten years. I’ve had two lung cancer surgeries and take infusions but I still get around at 73. I enjoy riding my motorcycles fishing and most of all reading and studying my Bible. I have to work out regularly to keep my breathing strong and stay active but it’s well worth it. I hope everyone is having a a good day.

The VA has been involved in all my care for past 15 years. For the most part I have no complaints but do most definitely have to be my own stringent advocate.

Yes, I'm a veteran, all my medical needs are met through my local VA Medical facility. My experience to date is pretty good you have to have some flexibility appointment schedules are at the patients discretion sometimes there are not you have to take what's available. Doctors are very caring I have found.

I am a vet Royal Regiment Fusiliers Uk me{billy] Ian John Jimmy this in 1980 we were practicing for the queen's inaugural parade i was on duty as guard commander this day , so was the scruffy looking one on the left Ha Ha.. was being drilled by RSM next day with the lads.

I'm Veteran, been Retired since Jun 1994. Wasn't diagnosed til 2007 by th local VA hospital, as it progressed all of my treatment was by th VA. I was blessed with a great Pulmonologist, he helped me all the way. Had to stop working in 2011, it was really getting bad. Went thru Lung cancer treatment in 2014, still with VA. Right now, I'm over 10 years Cancer Free.
Th COPD is holding steady, I'm Blessed not to go thru all of th daily symptoms, just th shortness of breath is my major setback.
Took over 16 years of filing to get full disability. Know ur symptoms and what ur body is going thru.
Recently, I had to get a Pulmonologist in town, my old one left the VA nd had a Nurse Practioner, who only saw me once a year, I nd my Family considered totally UNSAT. Not to mention, being told I couldn't be sedated for any type of procedure. Just last week, I had a Colonoscopy with Sedation and doing great. God's Been Good Too Me!
Th VA can treat nd be a good place. Just stay abreast of ur condition or have someone with you.
We can do this!
God's Blessings!😇
