Brief Answer:
Depends on multiple factors
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome again,
It is difficult to comment on the prognosis and life expectancy of any of two diseases- lymphoma and COPD without knowing the complete history, type of lymphoma, type of COPD, complications, etc.
For this you need to consult your treating doctor as he/she will have more details about the clinical course of disease and complications.
