I am a 65 year old white woman with a few diseases, that make me question what is the life span I have left. I know my family doctor prefers not to have such questions asked by me b/c he worries about me going into depression. That is not the case with me. I have had 2 major heart attacks, and have been diagnosed with artery disease. I am a late stage diabetic on insulin, I have C.O.P.D., and now have been diagnosed with stage 3 kidney disease. I also have pseudocyst on my pancreas. What are my chances of another 10 years of life?
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum.  Your living for 10 years more is depending upon your urge to live. C.O.P.D.after 2heart attacks is common to occur. If you see that the C.O.P.D is compensated, and maintained it is not a big matter.  Kidney disease at stage 3, also to be taken care of by avoiding many foods, and Chat Doctor.  I advise you not to think of your health, practice meditation, and some diversion procedures to prevent functional health problems.  Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
