Hi. Spent last week in Kings Mill Hospital, Mansfield taking part in the above study GOD BLESS the NHS and all the kind and dedicated people that make it work. They again looked after me as if I was the last person on earth. Ward 44 Thank you again. From the first moment of getting provisionally excepted on this study I have received nothing but genuine care and courtesy along with expert medical help.

I am pleased to say that the treatment and valves that were inserted last Monday 14th Dec 2015 have transformed my breathing and seemed to have knocked back my condition of COPD several years. This is only my option and the doctors will have analyse their findings over the next few months but I am doing the breathing and feel so much better its unbelievable.

Its the best thing that has happened to me in years. Thank you all that are involved in this study and thank you all who work in the NHS, it is the best institution the world WE NEED TO PROTECT IT.

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year I will keep up dating my progress Might just go and chase the wife around the bedroom now with my new and improved breathing.

That is awesome and thank you for providing your experience. Please let us know when you have your next spirometry or PFT and how it compares to before you had the valves inserted. Do you know when your will have your next spirometry?

So glad you are feeling an improvement.

Merry Christmas to you as well.
