Hi how long is a piece of string? Seriously though as your copd is moderate you will have many years left yet. There are loads on here at the severe and very severe level and have been for a long time. None of them are planning on going anywhere soon either.

As for the nodules I haven't got a clue but I'm sure others with be in soon to help.

It would depend on your life style, A good diet plenty of exercise and avoiding triggers infections etc will do much to extend your prognosis.

Hi there i have RA and was diagnosed with a lung nodule after having a chest xray and 2 ct scans 3 months apart ! There has been no growth in the nodule but I do have to have another scan in 6 months just to double check things have stayed the same ! The consultant has said it's possibly a RA nodule or inflammation so please try to stay positive and ask your consultant anything that is worrying you ! Bless you and be positive! Takecare
