We are a support group who have formed to assist and educate people who have been diagnosed with emphysema, chronic bronchitis or incurable asthma. We will welcome members who are willing to primarily discuss these illnesses and are not more interested in chat groups. We will discuss anything that is relevant to our group. We are also not interested in discussing religious and political issues or sexually explicit sexual material. We are just starting and would prefer to keep the membership to a maximum of 75 for a short period of time. We believe a close family type atmosphere is very conducive to learning how to manage COPD.
