A friend of mine was also turned down but she was told that if she exercised and got fitter she could return for another assessment.
I didn't get them because even though I'm end stage copd I don't have emphysema wich it is for really. I am on transplant list now. X
Hi Jublianna,
I'm due to go for a review with my specialist in 2 weeks time. Lung reduction valves have been mentioned as a possible treatment depending on recent test results which included a ct scan and 6 minute walk test. Are you able to tell me any other criteria used in assessing suitability for this?
Thanks
