Q: my dad was diognosed with copd 4 months ago. he has suffered , with shortness of breath for years, but was too afraid to find out what was wrong. He has been good for A while, until yesterday.
It's hard to predict life expectancy, as every person is different and the human will plays such a large part in the final days. But I'm wondering if your dad is on supplemental oxygen?
If not, he might benefit from it, so it's worth discussing with the doctor.
Hang in there,
Kathi
