Q: Chronic Pancreatitis Life Expectancy?

Hi - i've been reading contradictory information about chronic pancreatitis life expectancy. Assuming someone is diagnosed with this, what is the life expectancy? Can someone be expected to live a "normal" life assuming appropriate life style changes, or is life expectancy reduced, and if so, can anyone provide any details?

Thanks.
