[quote=Anonymous]If he’s already having autonomic nervous system involvement, which it sounds like he is, his remaining life expectancy is not going to be more than a few years. There are outliers, of course, just like some in the same condition would pass within a year or even months. It is very heard to say. Ask him what he would like. It seems you have a good setup in place. But you’ll need to have the talk about how much he wants done. Will he want to be on tube feedings or receive any additional life-prolonging measures? Is he open to Hospice or Palliative care?[/quote]
