Hi . It is true that RP has no treatment and is a genetic condition which is inherited. But, there are various varieties,  some of them do not progress very fast. You can maintain nutrition, take some supplements,  adjust lifestyle accordingly. There was some electrical stimulation therapy available for some, you can speak to your Retina doctor.
