I was diagnosed at age 64 in 2010. I lost a sister to CF - 40 years ago. She died at 21 years old. Way back then my sweat test was normal. I have battled lung infections, pneumonia, bronchiectasis for decades. The best I could get from many docs and pulmonologists was that I was probably a carrier with symptoms. What kept me going all these years was swimming laps. Finally the right doc specializing in CF adults figured it out. I have two gene mutations DF508 and R117H. The diagnosis was the best thing for me - now with all the treatments I have been free of infections-exacerbations for over a year. That has not happened in this century. I am pancreatic sufficient.
I have worked all of my adult life, married, no children. Now trying to be retired.
