No one can give you a life expectancy because people are only humans, not gods who can see into your future. People tend to become depressed when given "life expectancy" quotes, and it does not help their health or outlook at all. Many people who choose to ignore these "guesstimates" tend to do much better and live longer. Try to have a hopeful and positive outlook, and live your life to the fullest.
