Ah ha, I get it. After having so many I think that I just plod along until I can't anymore. Those survival time thingies tend to petrify rather than help I think.
I have never heard of cell therapy for COPD. I think though it is for very severe cases. Is this your problem too?
As for your heart- I think that you need to see your heart doctor once a year. I think that this is a conservative guess but a wise one.
Other than adenocarcinoma what other type of cell has been found?
A special happy holiday to you too sakota. take care and keep in touch

Merry. I don’t think anyone can go by the number of years. It all depends on us and God. I had gotten about the 5 year thing until today. I thought I was going to end up with breast cancer and die like my mom when she was 52 and here I am 74. Then my dad had a heart attack when he was 52 and lived 10 years after that. I had mine when I was 62 and survived. I don’t dwell on what happens. We just keep taking one day one step at a time. But. There is a day every once in awhile when things come crashing down. Ok. Onward and forward. Cheers. My copd has went from
Mild to moderate. And I know that’s going to keep getting worse. If stem cell can be proven to work in the near future and I’m a candidate I’m going for it

@merpreb I agree with you about the life prognosis. It's awful. It' s like a bomb ticking over your head. You are the living example of not giving up hope. I guess no doctor told you about 21 years...My pulmonologist told me that my husband has 1 to 3 years to live. He never asked, I never told him. The oncologists in the hospital said nothing and I was relieved that they didn' t steal the hope from us. We keep going....
