    2. Hi doodles, and thanks for your post. As you can see, my colleague, Jill.Brodie, has provided a link to a story from one of our community members, roscoe , who shared his story here.
      As well, I see another community member, CommunityMember709, also shared their story here (right above this post).
      Should you want to read more about the endobronchial valve procedure, we have a number of articles published, right here on our COPD.net community website. For your convenience, here is a link to several of them: https://copd.net/search?s=endobronchial%20valve%20procedure.
      I do hope you find this material is helpful for you.
      Are you being considered for this procedure?
