COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) |
Emphysema06/17/2008 |
is it true that someone with emphysema at age 55 can still live to be 80 could someone please give an honest answer to how long patients live with emphysema
Although it is possible for someone age 55 with emphysema to live to be 80, there are different degrees of severity of emphysema. The life expectancy of someone with emphysema largely depends on the severity of disease.
