Hi,
Ive been beside myself since getting diagnosed with mild copd in early may. I have a young family and would love to see my three young boys grow up but this diagnosis sent me on a emotional roller coaster, fearing I will not be around in another 20-30 yrs to see them grow into men.
Only symptom is the occasional cough + phlegm.
Doctor prescribed an salbutamol inhaler and sent me on my way.
I have a few questions for those of you who have been on this journey
1. How long were you in mild stage before it progressed to moderate?
2. How old were you when diagnosed?
3. Is it possible to stay mild/moderate for 30+ years?
