I have severe copd and emphysema, Are there any new treatments that may extend my life?

help me to stop smoking! stop smoking medications, stop smoking help, stop smoking plans and more

I am only 49 yrs old, I have been told I’m not a candidate for transplant surgery as they have to crack my chest, and I have very low bone density and they say my chest would just shatter, and that I wouldn’t survive the surgery.

I know exactly how you feel, I was in a very similar situation. I remember that I was so nervous at that time and I took it out on everyone around me. I didnt know what could I do until, thanks god, I found Smoke Deter. Now I can look back and laugh on myself and in the same time I remember how helpless I was. I hope that I'll never be in the same situation again

    Nothing new out there yet. You can improve your changes by doing the following:
    Take meds as prescribed
    Drink plenty of fluids, particularly water
    Exercise daily, particularly walking
    Wash your hands often
    Don’t go outside when the air quality is poor
    More information can be gotten at the source cited

    Were you checked for Alpha 1. If not, please have it done. It’s inexpensive. Prolastin is given to Alpha 1′s to slow down the progression

    They have Advair which has shown does well for this disease. Check it out with your doc. Kind of surprised he\she did not mention it.
