Hi, I had my 6 month check up today. They have reviewed my ct scan and x rays and previous lung function tests. Have been informed they strongly believe I was born with this bullous emphysema, also been informed I don't need to declair this to future employers, mortgage company ect and I don't need special travel insurance, all put on my medical notes today and they will back it 100℅. Xrays have been fully examined, no change what so ever since being diagnosed back in early 2010, they stated today this should not progress as long as I don't smoke or sit in the company of smokers, keep exercising the lungs and generally keep doing what I'm doing, my lungs will detariate with old age like everyone, flu jab yearly and keep well. Good news and a bloody big wake up call. 47 in September so thank God I gave up at the right time, this was only identified by sheer chance on a x ray for something totally un related. Keep well all, and keep up the good fight.
