See below: IPF in general has about a 5 year survival rate. If the heart failure is managed well, you could possibly live as long as your lungs hold out. I've seen some IPF patients die sooner than 5 years and I've seen some that are still going almost 10 years later. If you want a second opinion on how bad your lung disease is, maybe you could find a pulmonologist from CA on here to help you.
