What:

"As one doctor told me, living with end stage Copd is like living in the thin air at the base camp of Mt Everest. But I distract myself from my laboured breathing with the beauty of the views. I take this climb slowly, but I take it."

What:

"Having COPD is like being underwater and holding your breath. Although you try to stay under longer, you need to breathe - right now! So you rise to the surface and take a deep breath. Unfortunately, people with COPD cannot just surface and take a deep breath."

"COPD is like a being on an unmanned freight train rumbling down a mountain track, I feel I've applied the breaks a little. One day I might even be able to stop the train and hop off."
