"Today has been pretty good. I had a followup to my hospital stay on Monday, and started pulmonary therapy yesterday with an evaluation session. I am feeling more part of things now and look forward to more therapy sessions. I will go twice a week for 5 weeks and then be reevaluated. My doctor also proposed me for a fairly new procedure calle endoscopic lung volume reduction. Does any one on the forum have experience with this? I would like some first hand information as to whether this is likely to help. I know our stories of treatment and results aren't always welcome on the forum, so information from other sources would be appreciated."
