Cystic fibrosis, it’s a genetic thing. The lungs have a harder time clearing mucus out and that eventually scars the lungs and reduces lung function.

When I was born they didn’t even know what caused it (DNA defect that has a 25% chance of being passed to a child when both parents are CF carriers) .

Now they have target medications to fix the genes that were damaged. It’s pretty amazing.

I’m over 15 years post transplant and am doing great.

I'm really glad to hear it. Modern medicine is pretty wild when you think about it. Here's to your continued health! 🥂
