A few months ago, my father was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and for the past month, he has developed a cough which the doctors initially thought was pneumonia. As it turns out, it's emphysema. He's now taking advair to help him breathe better, but it is very shocking to see a man who at most had taken maybe five sick days his entire working career, now very sick.
