Prognosis varies person to person. My family member was diagnosised with 'Parkinson's plus' at age 53, and is now in stage 5 (I think that's what it's called). At age 61, my family member experiences dementia and is unable to operate a wheel chair unattended. Our experience is heartbreaking.
Others live long lives. I'm glad your friend is doing well.
