I agree, no one knows what awaits any of us, especially our drs. If your Dr tells you, that you only have x amount of time, my opinion, get another Dr.

I was diagnosed in 1992 and relapsed in 1996, my dr in 1996 told me, that I had less than a year- I got a new dr- and I’m still here, more than 30 years.

Don’t give up the good fight.

I was diagnosed February 2021, relapsed fall of 2023, and now feeling my best since diagnosed. No one really knows when our expiration date is. I just do what I need to do by eating healthier, walking, and listening to my dr.
