Ignoring your actual point, something like end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis has a life expectancy of around 5 years, but even 10+ years on dialysis is not unheard of.
FWIW she has refused dialysis.
As I said when I got a text saying "don't send A g money to your dad": "It won't be long now. Everything evolving him will be over shortly."
Everyone in his generation was a little miffed. Everyone in my generation was all "yup."
If she quit, it must've been recent. She won't last more than a couple weeks on average.
They really don’t have people on dialysis that long anymore. My best friend is currently on dialysis.
Different sites will have different patient populations, but large cohort data shows 5 year survival rate of ~40% and 10-year survival rate of ~10%. Not common, but not particularly unusual.
