I Have A Problem Maintaining My Weight. Does Anyone Else Have This Problem?
A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question đź’­

I have had a problem losing weight without trying. When I went to my pulmonary doctor, he told me not to lose any more weight. Well all of a sudden I dropped about 15 lbs. Does any one else have this problem? How can I stop this cycle?

How Accurate Are CT Scan Results When Testing For Lung Cancer?
A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question đź’­

After being diagnosed with COPD 2 years ago, I went to the emergency room last week and the dr. said that the xrays showed what he thought was lung cancer. A CT scan was done and the results he said didn’t show cancer, but definitely something concerned him enough that he said I needed to see a critical care lung dr. immediately. He said it wasn’t pneumonia but some type of bacteria showed up.
