Emphysema treatable, not curable
Dear Dr. Gott: I have emphysema. When I walk a short distance, I am out of breath. I have to stop, sit and wait until I get all my breath back before going on. At home, I am on 15 liters of oxygen, and, when I go out, I have to use a tank on wheels that goes only up to 10 liters. I take nine pills every day. I was told I had one blocked lung.
