Hi Dave, Welcome. I can only add weight to Badbessie's reply. Exercise can turn your life around, it has mine.

Hi Dave, and welcome! My husband is 67 and has emphysema. He's had it for 17 years (probably longer). He eats healthy, stays fit, and just takes one day at a time. You will love this group and learn so much from the wonderful folks here!
