Hi Brent
I've just read both your posts (must admit to being almost too scared to read this one!), and am sooo relieved that the results appear to be better than anyone could have imagined.
Thank goodness you didn't mention any of this to your family. It seems a dreadful shame that your doc prepared you for the worst before getting the results, leaving you in such a terrible state of mind all that time!
I'm so sorry about the emphysema. My father had that, but he was in his 70's and a heavy smoker all his life!
Have they tested you for asbestosis? It's a big problem here in Oz, where all the old schools, houses, fences etc. were/are made from asbestos, and the old mining town of Wittenoon has been closed down and roped off for many years.
I pray that's not what you have.
Take care,
Sue
