Ignoring your actual point, something like end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis has a life expectancy of around 5 years, but even 10+ years on dialysis is not unheard of.
Different sites will have different patient populations, but large cohort data shows 5 year survival rate of ~40% and 10-year survival rate of ~10%. Not common, but not particularly unusual.

Everyone in his generation was a little miffed. Everyone in my generation was all “yup.”
They really don’t have people on dialysis that long anymore. My best friend is currently on dialysis.
