Latest diagnosis?

Absolutely! My son was 15 when he was diagnosed. There are members here who were dx in their 20's, 30's & 40's, believe it or not. My son's symptoms were mild and a-typical, so it wasn't so obvious. Of course, hind-sight is 20/20, so now I know why he had certain previously unexplained symptoms.
Is it you who is being tested or your child? I hope you find the answers you are looking for. Let us know what happens.

<b>absolutely again!!! </b>Both my kids were diagnosed in their teens - see the first entry of my blog page for more details.
I too have heard of many people up to their 50's just getting diagnosed. I personally know of one woman who was diagnosed at age 42.
So many doctors do not realize that it is a possibility because they have old school knowledge that says CF is a childhood disease... the truth is very different now that we can tests for CF genes and many of them are proving to be mild variant (class 4 and 5) which means people are presenting at a later age and/or with more mild or a-typical symptoms.
