Cristin - My son is 12 now and has CF. He has had nasal polyps removed 4 times. I was always told that if kids had nasal polyps it's a sure sign of CF. (I could be wrong but I would definetly DEMAND the genetic testing.) If it is CF your son will feel soooo much better with the proper treatment!! DO what you feel is right and don't listen to the doctors tell you it isn't CF until you have proof.
So many kids are put through extra suffering because doctors don't THINK it's CF - they don't know how much this disease differs from person to person.
My son was diagnosed at 6 months old - if I wouldn't of taken him to a city doctor on my own because I KNEW something was wrong - who knows when he would have been diagnosed. He usually feels good - except for the sinus and polyp problems! He can play 2 basketball games back to back - to give you an idea. Please demand the testing for you and your son!!!
