cystic fibrosis is a disease that affects your organs. It is common in the lungs. It makes the body form a sticky mucus and cause lung disease and hurts breathing. Years ago, people would not be able to live very long with this. But now, people can live well into their 40 is or even longer!

on top of your lungs cystic fibrosis also affects your pancreas and in some people, especially males your reproductive organs. if you have any other question about cf you can email me at monkeygurl072003.com My 7 month old daughter has it so we are getting to know this disease very well.

l have cystic fibrosis. It is a disease u r born with, & it affects ur lungs, pancreas, & intestines. There r many mutations (i have 2 of the rarest mutations) but there is one mutation (something like DeltaF508) that more than 50% of CF patients have. Most people r diagnosed at birth, some as late as their teen years. The information on Wikipedia is surprisingly accurate, so l would suggest looking at that. Also, cff.org is the official cystic fibrosis foundation website, & they have some information, too. Hope this helps!
