Hi, I'm pretty new on this site... I received the results of my sweat test on my 23rd birthday in 1998 via telephone from the hospital that preformed the test and that was after putting the test off 3 years after my little sister was diagnosed with CF because I was 99.9% sure I had it as well. Not to mention the fact that I had to DEMAND to be tested because the stupid primary physician who missed diagnosed me for years with allergies, asthma and bronchitis,etc. thought there was NO way I could have CF because I had a son, even with the family history and the symptoms. IDOIT! Well after that, I went to a CF center and had my genetic test done. That came back with delta508 and 3849+10kb C>t... It seems I have a some what "mild" case of CF I wish the same could of been said for my little sister, she passed away 5 years ago... <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> Well... 13 years later I've been able to muddle through life with CF and I'm on to bigger and better things like a brain tumor....<div><br></div><div>Always abnormal...</div>

so sorry to hear about your diagnosis, sister and brain tumor...way too much for a person to go through! I hope you are doing well.
My sister passed away from CF at age 30. I do not have it, but have witnessedthat it isso very hard to deal with and manage. I will keep your health in my thoughts and prayers.
