Lung volume reduction - what are your thoughts?

[BethanyBateman]

Hi guys,

We’re updating our information about lung volume reduction as a treatment for emphysema. We know people have a lot of questions about the surgery, and about newer options like valves that are being researched.

If you’ve had this procedure, would you be willing to have a read through and tell us how we can improve the information?

You can find our current health information on lung volume reduction here - blf.org.uk/support-for-you/...

If you’re interested, please email our editor Judith ([e-mail]).

Thank you!

Bethany

Ah yes, that would be a good idea! Thanks Skis, I'll change it now.

That's great news about your surgery. Good luck with it!
