Paul Petersen of Donna Reed Show fame has COPD/Emphysema

Paul Petersen has posted this news on Facebook:
Well, whattya know? My lung doctor finally called last night and the lung growth they biopsied eleven days ago is NOT cancer.
Jeez, took 'em long enough.
The COPD/Emphysema is very real. The damage means I stay on oxygen.
No big deal.
I feel pretty darn good.
That's the latest.
I know you’ve been concerned…heck, me too!
I hate the thought of missing birthdays…my own included!
Love,
Paul Petersen

 

I have chronic COPD myself. Symbicort twice a day. A friend of mine has it worse than I do, been rushed to the ER a couple of times. You just adjust your life, a lot of people have it a lot worse.
