Breathlessness
A further lung function test was done and I was referred to the Consultant (
emphysema
was mentioned). In. Recent letter from the consultant he quotes "your CT scan showed no significant abnormality and your lung function tests are good.

Questions about End-Stage Emphysema
HI my husband, who is 66, has end-stage
emphysema
. Late last summer we were involved in a scooter accident (I think he passed out) where he broke 8 ribs and got a collapsed lung. We toughed all that out and after 3+ months and getting off a vent and having a trac removed, he came home.

Pneumectomy?? Anyone undergone this surgery and what were the results?
It has caused
emphysema
, copd, bronchiestasis, atelectasis and chronic blood clots - the left lower lobe being the worst and now with Mac pneumonia. I was diagnosed 3 years ago and now on 3L O2 constantly. Had anyone had this surgery and would be willing to share their results?

Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated
She has
emphysema
but never had any limitations at all due to this. I had been with her before and after work weekends. Had been with her 3 days straight and knew she wasnāt actually in distress. I am a nurse; listened to her lungs etc. When she came home this time itās the same thing.
