Close Anonymous Unfriend Friend Requested Friend Load More Close Destination Page Area Group Destination Content Title Title Article Type Copy comments I had been told that most tissue damage from emphysema can be seen at the bottom of the lungs. Someone else said that the damage is at the top. So, which is it, the top or the bottom? I had told my pulmonologist and my oncologist that the upside to losing both upper lobes is that they also removed some of the emphysema. I realize I was just looking for the "silver lining", but I really would like to know for sure if I was correct or not.
