You won't be the only one feeling down. If it keeps on then try finding someone you can talk to. It could be your parents, a brother or sister, a close friend, someone at the CF Clinic or at the CF Trust's Family and Adult Support Services, a counsellor at school or in your local community. CF is one of those subjects that makes dramatic headlines. Remember news stories have to be unusual to be interesting.
CF affects people in a lot of different ways.
Some have it severely, but many have it mildly or moderately. No-one can tell you how long you are going to live. Treatment is getting better and people are living longer and longer. Children with CF used to die when they were babies. This very rarely happens now.
