I am a 2 pack a day smoker, and have got it down to about 5-6 a day for the last 3 weeks. I have thought of so many things to ask the doctor when I go back to see him next week, but I would be glad to hear from you as to my state of health at this point. Thank you for anything that you can tell me about this disease. All of the web pages I have found on this disease are useful, but I want to know how they classify different stages of this disease. Thank you for your time.
Therapy relieves symptoms and controls exacerbations.
It may also slow progression of the disorder.
