3/25/2005 Upon complaining of SOB and lack of energy, I was treated for depression and anxiety. Finally, with no relief, I insisted on a chest x-ray.  The doctor found emphysema (lung age 146yrs).  He referred me to a pulmonary doctor, who tested me.  I do my treatments at home, as home health instructed me, after getting a port-a-cath placed. It is awesome to do this on my time, privately.
