How long will I live after being diagnosed with COPD?

Hi again Sue99sstuff and thanks for your serious inquiry. Since COPD affects all patients who have it differently, and even the progression of the disease can vary from patient to patient, it is virtually impossible to provide an answer to your question. However, it may help you to understand that our community has many, many members who are living productive lives for many, many years - even decades - living with the disease. You may want to discuss this further with your medical health team and support group.
We appreciate your participation in our online community and look forward to your continued participation here.
Warmly,
Leon (site moderator)
