How long can a person in the advanced stages of emphysema expect to live?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
COPD: A person with advanced emphysema can expect to live a long time, but their prognosis isn't that good. Must exert every effort to take care of self because a bout of influenza or pneumonia of another kind could be a quick exit.
