You may have many years to enjoy the company of others. COPD has several causes, especially smoking. If your girlfriend lifestyle and makes clear, healthy choices you can live with you. COPD, but not curable, is not necessarily a death sentence. It is able for the young disease that cause lung cancer, but stay positive and remain physically active in order to prolong its lifespan. I suggest that research on the disease wherever possible and often this research. New therapies, clinical trials, studies, etc., which all take place, can actually result in a cure. Meanwhile, are there to assist, offer empathy and friendship. Do not worry the next day and things we can control. To take care of today. Good luck to you both.

I'm sorry for your friend. My name is Lori Palermo from Gouldsboro, PA. There is no cure for COPD, and to determine, at any time when he takes his life. How careful is a very important factor in how long you live with COPD. My father died, December 26, 2003 COPD / emphysema. I was very involved in lung disease since the smoke-free work and life.
I started my own website in June 2006 in memory of my father.
My website is: http://www.loveyourlungsbreatheforlife.com
We will help you and your friends know what is COPD.
There are ways your friend could take care of a better quality of life by them. The diet is very important to take exercise - pulmonary rehabilitation and oxygen, the medication if prescribed. I hope you see a lung specialist. And it is very important not to smoke.
You can e-mail to loveyourlungs@yahoo.com if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Lori

When you quit smoking and remain a mild case then there must be a long time. When you smoke is still less.
