It doesn't matter

Hi Chris

What you bring to this forum is one great attitude and you are a shinning example of the gift of life.

When I was told that the average life expectancy for a transplant was three years, I thought I rather have three healthy years than live with cf like I was living at the time. Attitude will take you far as long as it is a healthy one.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> The average life span for a tx has improved.

Today I was waiting for some blood work to be taken and I was approached by several people asking me about why I was wearing a mask. I told them the cf/transplant scenario and they were all ears and told me how inspiring blah blah and all of that. They told me they knew someone who has cf who had her lung removed at the age of seventeen and said how great she is doing. Their attitude was a breath of fresh air. The lady even said, that they are making great strides.

Some people on the other hand would say, I am sorry to hear that (If i told them why I was wearing a mask)

GREAT POST and keep on sharing,
Risa

my daughter wasn't diagnosed until 5 months so I didn't get the 'opportunity' to make this decision.
but based on all this feedback I'm very glad she was born to me because I know we will take care of her.
everyone is entitled to their opinion and iti s important to consider all sides of an argument.
but if there were a little more discussion up front then maybe there would be fewer decisions to make later.

in reply to the original post put up by hermit you have made some very valid and interesting points which does put my original message to shame.But having a condition like cf coupled with other problems related to health which i dont want to go into ( which some people on here do not have and having cf really maginifies everything and makes this life a load of shite i should know ive experienced it)

i put this thread up on cf and abortion for particular personal reasons to me it was not meant to offend anyone rather express my true feelings about the matter
