Hello. Please do not feel hopeless. Everyday, new drugs, surgery techniques and non-invasive solutions are being developed. Currently, I am beginning testing for qualification for the new lung coils which help restore elasticity in lung tissue. I hope you might consider the benefits. Here’s some info for a start.

What disqualified you from the endo valves?

[Duff1953 in reply to Giannababy]

Homogeneous emphysema through out both lungs which is why I am not suitable
