There are always new discoveries being made in the medical world and things can change so quickly. Did you know that in the 1960's the life expectancy for CF was just 10! Now the average is 38. Of course every CF patient is different and may have more or less time then this but that is a massive improvement.
There are many doctors working on many things to help CF patients and they are finding new medicines to combat symptoms and even suppress symptoms.
Even now there are medicines that Cadel takes that just weren't available years ago and we have even seen new medicines introduced in our short time of knowing about CF.
The biggest discovery of all is Kalydeco. Although this drug is only used for patients with a specific mutation they are working on more variations. For more information you can go here.

So to the medical teams and researchers that continue to work hard at making these discoveries we applaud you and know that good karma will be bestowed on you and your families.
We hope they make more discoveries so that one day CF can stand for Cure Found.
