I’m so sorry. I wish I had answers for you. I’m in the same boat. HWP was diagnosed in 2018 after having symptoms for at least the 4-5 years prior. Talk to his doctors about the specifics, especially movement disorder specialist. For me, getting myself a great therapist helps with the anxiety of the future. Sending hugs your way.

Parkinson's doesn't usually kill, except from bad falls or aspirational pneumonia. Other health conditions or just old age are more likely to cause the death of someone with PD. Your husband may survive for many more years, depending on his current age and health issues.
