Colin has COPD and is much better in Portugal in the winter in a small flat we rent, he is getting worse and is scared we can't get oxygen there. Also has anyone had a bell valve inserted into their lung. The doctors are not bothered as he is 72. Thanks Anne
what is a bell valve and how does it work?
Richard
It is a small valve inserted into the lung to close off the part of the lung not working I think so the healthy part works better ?
Sorry anne94175...never heard of a bell valve.
I think you have to pay for it, It was in the daily mail newspaper, it's new .
I shouldnot complicate things for him at his age. Except to try and arrange oxygen supplies from the hospital or gas supplier.

I have asked a friend in Portugal and he can only can go to a clinic no home oxy am looking into that thanks anne
