Hi Jean....I just came back from stem cell treatment. Last resort, but if you want to keep living, it's worth the shot.

On the COPD Foundation website there is a tab called 360. If you join 360, you will be able to access this discussion regarding stem cells. Jim Nelson, the author, is a COPD patient who has done a lot of research regarding stem cell therapy and its application to COPD. This is one of the most definitive discussions of stem cell therapy for COPD I've seen.
