    One should never go into

    One should never go into specifics about how long someone they knew lasted with the same question.  It's different for each person.  Also, 5 years may mean more to one person than 5 years means for another.  I am 63 and 5 years with a possible additional 10, because of a new treatment or one that works unexpectedly well, takes me to almost 80.  That's pretty freakin good for me.  I never planned on living much past 80 in the first place.  I am in a WAY different situation than some young dude that finds out he has this and he just turned 40.
