emphysema question a friend of mine is going in later this week for tests to see if has emphysema his lung capacity has decreased over time his father died of the disease he works in woodworking i believe he has a very occasional cigarette perhaps one cigarette a day or even less he tells me this i ve never seen him light up he has some pretty healthy life style habits good diet exercise meditation retreats therapy etc anyhow he is very concerned with this check up i know really nothing about the disease i believe it interferes with the lining of the lung being able to exchange oxygen is a diagnosis of emphysema a death sentence if he were to give up smoking entirely would that better his chances for recovery what are some modern therapies used in people with this disease i would appreciate any information thanks amigan cup portal com
