I was not diagnosed until I was 21. I had the symptoms but the doctors thought they weren't severe enough.

Flash foward and at 21 the did a test to "rule it out"...
anyhow my symptoms have progressed at a slow rate; luckily. I am 31 years old now and have only ever been hospitalized twice.

My mutations are DF508 and R 347 P; but gene combo only has a little to do with the out come. What are your sons; if you don't mind me asking?

Hi I'm 42 and was diagnosed at birth thanks to an older sister. I have 2 copies of deltaF508 which genetically means I have the common, severe form, despite the fact my lung function was over 100% till recently. I've known a fair number of older people with the so called severe mutation so you can rely on doctors predictions on how the mutation will manifest. There is very little understood about the relationship of mutations, personality, other inherited factors and behaviour, and it all combines differently in every PWCF.

Your son is very lucky to have been diagnosed so early. Lung damage has been found to occur before symptoms appear, so it's important to follow protocols even though he may appear normal. Such an early diagnosis could prevent that damage occuring for many years, especially if he is encouraged to live an active life. I know it's one of the reasons I'm in such good condition.

I was diagnosed at age 36. My symptoms were very subtle as a child and that seems to be the case for those of us who didn't have problems until their late teens or early 20's. I was born a normal weight and healthy but I was small for my age growing up. I also had mild asthma and lots of colds/coughs during the winter. There are some old "adult diagnosed" threads that might give you some insight on how symptoms can appear later in life if you are curious.

The great thing is that you know about the CF and can do preventive treatment. You can also save money for your childs future since those of us living longer often go to college, have careers, get married and have children. Having a chronic serious illness has a lot of hidden expenses.
