I'm relatively new to the CF world (my daughter Maggie is almost 6 months now) so I'm not sure about this. My sister (who is 24) has a friend that was diagnosed with asthma, had MRSA in her sinuses for years and other "health issues". Just this month she was told by her doctor who I think is a pulmonologist that she has CF. She was told she has a mild case and doesn't need to do anything about it. She is living in Haiti doing missionary work and is back there now. She was not sent to a CF doctor at all. What do you think of this?

She may not feel the need for Nebs and such now. But my guess
she will the first time she gets a bad lung infection.
when I was that age I did almost nothing as far as nebs except when sick.
I guess i wanted what I thought to be normal. What was I thinking?
But a Jennifer said Cf does progress over time.
The Less infections the better. every lung infection reduces the
amount of lung tissue..
I would say that your sisters friend Needs to See another Doctor.
I wonder why any Doc would say such a thing. To me, that is just crazy.
I am thinking that Haiti is not the best place for a person with Cf to live.
I wonder if living there could be the cause of her Sinus and other health issues.
