I am in stage four also emphysema COPD. I saw my doctor today and my FEV one is 24%. He said if I get more infections, I would probably go to Hospice but right now I am OK. I haven’t been sick since last Summer. I know prognosis is hard when you have copd. I guess I would just ask him about the best way to relieve the symptoms that you’re having for me. It’s extreme shortness of breath or SOB. I’m on Oxygen 4 L down from 5 L 24 seven
Hope you have a good appointment. Thank you for posting. Hugs. K.

I’m considering Zephyr valves that they put in the lungs to stop the emphysema. Ever hear of them? I’ve read about people that have and they claim they really work. Talk to your pulmonologist. Good luck
