Life itself is a death sentence, if you really think about it. COPD can be a cause of death, but it's quite possibile that you'll die from something other than COPD. I've had COPD for many years and I fully expect to die from something else.

I try not to think of it like that, just keep exercising and exercise those lungs, thats what I do. I have heard people living with stage 4 for 20 years. so just keep your head clear.

People with stage 4 COPD, usually die from a heart attack. if that's any conciliation.

No expiration date on any of us.
So live life.....

Someone asked me that question I had never thought about it until now... yes we are given a death sentence... so what... make the most of every day and enjoy the blessings we have
