My husband joined the NETT program at OSU last April. Both his
breathing and physical well-being were much improved by the therapy. He was
randomized in June to continue the medical-exercise part of the program
rather than undergo lung reduction surgery.
He has continued in this part of the program for five weeks now, with
three more to go. He notices a weekly improvement in his physical strength,
but his breathing now remains about the same. He's on four liters of oxygen
and has good days and bad days depending on the air quality. Marian at
