Dilatative Cardiomyopathy - Please tell me positive stories (Dwarf Hamsters)

My little boy <3 has been feeling unwell for a few days - he just seemed a bit depressed, wouldn't move much, so I took him to the vet.

Long story short, Dilatative Cardiomyopathy. He's already a bit old - 1 year and 3 months.

The vet(s) gave me different opinions. I got him treatment today - Enalapril - and Aspirin basically, but the main vet basically told me, if he responds to treatment, a few months - She said she has some hasmters who lived 3-4 months so....this didn't look great.

The other vet told me he can live almost a normal life..

I'm lost. I really, really don't want to lose him. Anyone has/had a hammy (especially dwarf/winter white) who lived months with this issue?
And if so, do you know what the treatment was so I can ask the vet as well

Please 🙏
