Caring experiences - end stage of life
Just wondering if anyone is or has been a carer for someone with end -stage COPD/
emphysema
? I'm currently caring for my dad who has end-stage COPD and thought it would be nice to have someone to share experiences with. It's a real rollercoaster.

Rib/Side pain is back 2 years post op.
I figured it was a combo of the
emphysema
and the heat and humidity we have been having. But today my side is so sore I had to take my bra off. Luckily I'm not going anywhere today. I worry because the cancer invading the pleura, to me means it had started to travel.

upcoming Angioplasty
But I have severe COPD (
Emphysema
) and am wondering if having a stent put in will help my breathing? The stent is for my Right Coronary Artery and is appx 25% blocked! example of my breathing would be one flight of stairs relatively ok, two flights and need rest and inhaler!

World-first lung repair shows promise.
A decade ago, Ing became the first physician in Australia to insert endobronchial valves in COPD and
emphysema
patients. Ing first performed this operation at MUH in 2010, and since then it’s become the leading centre in NSW for this procedure.

Many thanks to all you lovelies on this site
I read a post on here about recently being diagnosed with
emphysema
and being scared stiff, I was the same for at least a month, imagining how I could leave my husband and pets, all the things we were going to do when we retired.

Emphysema and antihistamines
Having severe
emphysema
every time I go outside I seem to suffer the the effects of hay fever. Only a sore throat and more SOB mostly but taking antihistamines only makes me more SOB. The other issue is that the antihistamines only seem to be effective for a few hours.

Completely Off Supplemental 02 for a Year ;)
I've been at end stage
emphysema
for many years now. After having to use supplemental 02 for two years, I was able to go completely off it for what will be a year 06/06/20 ;) Exercise, nutrition and stubbornness to battle and win are what did it for me.

DO YOU FIND SMOKING RELAXING? HERE ARE 5 REASONS WHY.
Of these deaths, about 42,800 are from smoking-related cancers, 30,600 from cardiovascular disease and 29,100 die slowly from
emphysema
and other chronic lung diseases. Although many still find smoking helpful and relaxing.

Latest visit to pulmonologist
Second visit to my new pulmonologist to review CT scan (which showed Centribolular
emphysema
but not a vast difference from the last one) 8 years ago. The shock for me was the result of the ultra sound on my heart which was PASP 45mm hg diastolic dysfunction. Made the mistake of using Dr Google.

Cystoscopy revealed a new tissue growth
Now I am worried that this stage IV
emphysema
is my last curtain call. And my other doctor had me do a urine toxicology test to see if I might be taking illicit drugs.

Can anyone help me please
Just for the note my bilirubin levels have been high for around 2 years now and my last surgery didn't even let me know, I also have pulmonary function tests and my results came back that I had the lungs of a 33 year old, but the nurse did say that you can still have
emphysema
as I asked about that,

Hello
Hi, I am New on here, so thought I would say Hello, I was diagnosed with Mild
emphysema
about 5 years ago - I have a few things going on, but just been diagnosed with bronchiectasis, a few days ago. I feel just a little out of breath, after taking Nacsys 600mg dissolvable.

Severe Emphysema query
I have
Emphysema
, diagnosed as Stage 1 COPD on docs but the Brompton Consultants notes state SEVERE
Emphysema
with poor gas transfer. FEV etc is ok, so according to the video published by the BLF I'm not in the dangerous area where I get a text/letter to isolate.
