COPD diagnosis made me stop smoking

I'm 75 have had COPD since 1992, I was a smoker for over 40 years and stopped in that year. In 1997 my doctor told me if I didn't get a transplant I would probably not make 3 years, well fortunately I didn't get a transplant and have made it but it just gets harder and harder. I'm hoping to learn from other people who are on here.
