People who has pancreatitis can have a 'normal' life expectancy if they keep away from eating fat and drinking (too much) alcohol.

All epidemiological studies show a reduction in life expectancy for CP patients. Life expectancy is typically reduced by 10 to 15 years. Average life expectancy for a male with CP is early 50's in a lot of studies.

The overall survival rate is 70% at 10 years and 45% at 20 years. In an international study, 559 deaths occurred among patients with chronic pancreatitis, compared with an expected number of 157, which creates a standard mortality ratio of 3.6. Taking the opposite view, the 10-year mortality rate is 30%, and the 20-year mortality rate is 55%. The risk of developing pancreatic cancer is approximately 4% at 20 years.

From another study:
The overall 5-, 10-, 15-, 20-, 25-, and 30-year survival rate was 84.7, 65.6, 51.6, 38.0, 28.1, and 23.5.
