I had pneumonia 15 times after going through 33 rounds of radiation for esophageal cancer. It severely damaged my esophagus. I had a large zenkers Diverticulum . This diverted everything I swallowed into my lungs. I lost so much weight I was 110 pounds and needed a feeding tube. Now, I have COPD and Emphysema . My teenage son and I are homeless, living in a hotel. I have to beg churches for help everyday because the programs for the homeless are horribly underfunded. There is a year wait for a shelter. This is our last night unless I get help. We have no car to retreat to. I'm very scared

Do you suffer from emphysema or asthma, in addition to COPD?
I look forward to your testimony and discussion.
