Reply To: Do you have multiple illnesses?

[Beth T Browne]

Unfortunately, I have many. I am a 28yr cancer survivor. Whooping Cough at age 2 did some damage to my lungs, and in the 80’s things started and have continued. I now have a partial collapsed lung, with an old bronchesitis mass on it. I have no idea how long it has been there. Now I have allergies very bad and often. I discovered back in 2012, I had esphogus motilaty. The meds they gave me then helped but they took it off the market in 2020 as they found cancer in it. Great. The medicine I am on now helps some but causes terrible belching. My leaky heart valve is not good, but not bad enough for surgery. My glaucoma got better after I had cataract surgery. Now with Parkinson’s, I am wondering how much longer I have and trying to stay positive. I have my first new great grandson in WA I want to see before I go. That’s a good reason.
