You were diagnosed because you were sick . my two older brothers had it, so I went and had a ct scan in 2017. I have shortness of breath but my oxen level is 95. I find that the dry cough is when the clock starts ticking, at least in my brothers cases. About two years after that was their end of life. One of my brothers was at deaths door and was in excellent shape otherwise and was saved by a transplant over a year ago. He just started playing golf a few weeks ago.

I do not have the dry cough, but we are trying to do as much travel as we can wile I can. when the cough comes I know. the doctor will not commit on what my life span might be.

so don’t throw the towel in and think you have two years go out and enjoy life if you are able take your family on vacation. I am married 43 years and i am trying not to spend too much of our retirement accounts. My wife is 66 and very healthy and her Mom is 93 and healthy so she may have a long life ahead of her.
