How Long Can A Person With Liver Cirrhosis Survive?

I was told I have cirrhosis of the liver and was given 2 to 6 months to live mid November. I now under hospice care and have been for the passed 7 weeks. I ve been retaining fluid and have to be drained on a regular basis since my liver is not functioning properly. Slowly my daily functions like walking, at times breathing, eating and tremors seem be to be getting worse. Not sure how long this will continue.... is 6 months a reality?
