My mom had COPD, asthma, MS, and muscle issues at the early age of her early thirties. 2013-2014 a hospital of Los Angeles performed a major surgery on her for a collapsed lung. She had 30 % of her left lung removed. She fought until she lost her battle at 41 years old on October 8, 2021. I miss you mom.
You can finally breathe again. I was only 19 1/2 when I lost her.
