MA I would try to find a doctor who is honest with you. To me it sounds as if he indeed has emphysema (my husband died from it too). But of course I am just guessing. Emphysema is also called COPD. Find a lung specialist. If he is already 75 now and only starting to have the difficulties, he may have some more good years with the right medication and oxygen. Good that he stopped smoking, that probably gave him many years of life!
