Hello
I'm Vivian, I'm 52 years old, I was diagnosed with Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency and Emphysema 11 years ago. I have been getting augmentation therapy once a week for the past 8 years. This past October I was put on oxygen pretty much 24/7. I am presently being evaluated for a double lung transplant in the near future. I just learned of stem cells being used in copd patients and theis website through my son. I am very interested in stem cell research. Any advice or knowledge anyone can share would be greatly appreciated. I'm not sure if this is the best way to post my message. I just registerd and I'm still trying to become familiar with the site.
