I don’t think you should worry about putting a number on it. It all depends on what type you have. How many organs it has gotten to and how bad the damage is. There’s plenty of treatments available and lots that are in clinical trials. Hopefully they become available soon. As I like to say only the man upstairs knows how long we have. Be kind, make the most of it. Don’t worry about 20 years from now. Take it day by day. If you don’t it will consume you. That’s not how anyone wants to live out their life. Everyone should be prepared no matter how sick or healthy you are. Provide for you family and pets and then you don’t have to worry about it again.
