What is everyday life like? What is the quality of life?
Those with cystic fibrosis live their lives like any other person. The only
difference is when they wake up someone must pat their back for at least
twenty minutes to clear mucus from their lungs so they can breathe better.
Those with CF can exercise but become tired faster than those without
it.
- Before eating they must take vitamins and other medication in order
for them to digest food properly
How possible is it that a cure will be found?
At this stage there is no cure for CF. However, treatment helps people with CF to grow and develop as near to normal as possible, but they frequently need hospitalisation.
