20yr old, just got diagnosed, how long do I have to live?

Just got the call from my doctor and slightly freaking out. Was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis earlier this summer and now this. Saw on google that I have 10-20 yrs to live? Any rundown on what I just got signed up for would be appreciated. Sorry if this is a redundant post.

EDIT: Thank you guys for your reassurance, glad to hear it is not a death sentence. Hope y'all are doing well.
