I found out a couple months ago that I have COPD.

Could this affect my having surgery. It's a mild case but none the less it's still COPD. I'm scheduled for surgery on 3/14/03. I have sleep apnea and have used a cpap machine for 7 years but now it's with oxygen and I also now use a nebulizer with albuterol and atrovent. I'm kind of afraid now to have this surgery. Any advice? Thanks, Claire
