Meg Lewis does not fear dying.
The 35-year-old former NHS healthcare support worker surrounds herself with things she loves, in full anticipation that her progressive, incurable lung condition will one day take some of them away.
She knows she will probably need a transplant in the future and admits her "mortality was at the forefront of my mind" when she was diagnosed.
But as someone who "excelled at end-of-life care" after supporting "hundreds of wonderful patients", the greatest fear she has is "not living well before death finds me".
Meg was diagnosed with hypersensitivity pneumonitis – when the immune system overreacts to inhaled substances, causing inflammation in the lungs – in 2022.
Speaking on BBC Radio Wales' Saying Yes to Life, where presenter and actress Shalisha James-Davis explores how people cope with a life-changing diagnosis, she described breathlessness that almost felt "like you're suffocating".
