Don't worry much: Pls talk to your doctors, dispel your worries, best way to achieve this is to be rightfully informed about your conditions, many people have more ailments yet they manage, i wish you all the best.

Possibly: Depending on the extent of either disease and how aggressively they act, they could affect life expectancy.
