Hi i read your query very carefully!
The life expectancy for this person is around 25% for the first seven years (85% of patients die ). However cases of surviving more than 25 years have been reported.
With proper medical treatment and without severe complications I hope than the life expectancy will surpass 10 years.
Hope it was of help!
