I had a lung biopsy and found to have pulminary langerhans cell hysicytosis, this was 2008, my pft showed lung capacity at 20 % how long do i have?

See pulmonologist: I'd doubt that you are still living with a total lung capacity of 20% predicted. You need to clarify this issue with your chest doctor since what you told us does not seem real
