stroke victims life expectancy

His diet, independence and mobility have improved since he began living with us. Does anyone know where I can get information on life expectancy after a stroke? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

Also please read "Post Thalamic Stroke Pain". There is a man on there less than 30 years old with horrible pain from his stroke. That's another consequence that I neglected to mention.

As far as a stroke being inevitable I don't believe that to be the case. That's why you are taking aspirin. If your doctor thought you needed anything more than that he would have prescribed something else. My grandmother had Afib for years and years...never had a stroke and lived to be 90.

My 58 year old husband had a stroke last Sunday. We were let out of the hospital last night with no instructions, warnings or anything. Any sugestions? I am terrified. What next?

It depends on how healthy you stay. If you do all you can to keep weight down and take care of the diabetes. The diabetes is what you have to worry about. MS may not affect your life expectancy at all. When I was diagnosed with MS I decided I needed to reduce the chances of other disease so I cleaned up my diet, lost weight and started exercising. It was hard at first but I am glad I did it. Taking care of ourselves makes the difference with any illness.

What is my life expectancy?

I have been in-and-out of Afib for years. I've had several Electrocardioversions, some have converted me to sinus for up to 18 months. My last Electrocardioversion was August 29, 2008, yes a couple of weeks ago. That didn't last, my hope was the conversion would last longer that 18 months due to a repair of my Mitral valve last November. Well, this last cardioversion failed last Saturday, and after an EKG yesterday my EP says I'm now in Atrial Flutter, not Fibrillation.

Does anyone know what is the life expectancy of someone who has chronic hepatitis B?

Only her doctor can give you an idea of what her life expectancy is. For me, I think it's about quality of life. I don't know if I'd put her through radiation at her age. This is a very personal thing, but I feel very strongly about this. I've known many much younger people who endured all the chemo and radiation for cancer, only to still die from the cancer. So what life they had left was spent being miserably sick. It's a big decision for you. Take care....

t see much about non cancer patients. People on dialysis have a life expectancy of about two years on average; not long enough to see if cancer will develop. I think that if it stimulates cancer growth,it is reasonable to think that it might stimulate a cancer that was not viable to grow enough to develop a blood supply. The only way to test the theory is if a large body of non cancer patients take the drug and develop cancer at higher rates than the general population.

What is the projected life expectancy of an 81 year old in good health except for COPD?

I was wondering what the average life expectancy is for someone who is bipolar? I've done some research online and I was unable to figure out if having bipolar affects your life expectancy or not. There wasn't a lot of information available about it, but I imagine that's because there are a lot of factors that go into determining that.

severe hypoxemia, 80 -85 % blood oxygen. what is the life expectancy? female 58 years old.

I doubt very highly he is a transplant option. Any advice or helpful suggestions would be appreciated. Even a life expectancy - whether good or bad would be nice. He's not on oxygen at this time.

Since I cannot speak with doctors and I cannot take time off from work to visit on a regular basis, what would her life expectancy be, since she is refusing to stop the drinking?

I believe each person is different. But, if you have been diagnosed with cancer it is important to start treatment as soon as possible to stop progression of the disease, it can only get worse not better. And survival depends on many factors such as, the stage, the grade of the cancer cells (1, 2, 3.....

what is the life expectancy of a person who was just diagnosed with alzheimers at 90?

Since we have a similar hx and tx, I wanted to respond. Drs dont like to give us life expectancy answers, do they? We know they are right when they say it is all relative, it all depends on so-and-so, etc etc. but we still want a statistically based ball-park figure, right? I want to hear things like "You have a 70% chance of recurrence within 3-5 years," or "56% of those who have a similar recurrence will die within the following 2 years.

Hi, The chemotherapy would have immediate and delayed effects. Some of the immediate side effects like nausea and vomiting already have fairly good medications to counter the adverse experience of treatment. The other symptoms such as fatigability still need much work (put another way, this is something the patient has to deal with). The best demonstration of the treatment working would be to identify some of the symptoms before.

I am interested in finding out what is the average life expectancy of people having HBV? I acquired the infection at an age of 29 years.....I am now 31 years old.....I am Hbeag -ve, Hbsag +ve, Anti Hbeag +ve, HBV load 3400 copies/ml how bad does this look?

Hi Bev, I am sorry to hear that your mother is not doing well. I find estimating life expectancy to very difficult. I have seen people be given months to live and make it more than 10 years and others be given years and make it months. It is a very humbly aspect of medicine. Your doctor probably thinks life expectancy is less than 6 months because they have ordered hospice. I can't give you a good answer on the question of how long and if she will be here for Christmas.
