A member asked:
Docs, could a person with severe lung disease live to an old age?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is important to try and maintain your pulmonary system to slow down and worsening of the injury. Taking care of the lungs avoiding smoke etc is helpful. If you keep the disorder stable you should be able to live a long life
