Summary: very informative
Review: i was given this book as a 'free' gift from a drug company that makes
cystic fibrosis medication. my son diagnosed was diagnosed at age 5 when he had his pre-k physical. yes...it was very useful after my husband and myself could not find any detailed UPTODATE material on cystic fibrosis...thank goodness more helpful information and websites on cf are out now for newly diagnosed patients and their parents...new parents stay away from grandma's old medical guide on cf you will only find very brief and very grim outdated material...ask your medical team for info or search the web for info on cf

Summary: Finally, an update source of information!
Review: Im a teenager and was diagnosed with CF when I was born in 1989.
It was recently that I wanted to do some more reading on my disease. I looked through some books and was shocked by what I was reading. As many of you know, the out-of-date books on CF can have some very frightening information, like death and more infections, and etc. It was I discovered this book that I was so much more relaxed about my condition. This book is up-to-date and tells the real facts about this disease. After reading this, my disease doesn't scare me anymore.
If you are a teen, like me, I suggest you read thid.
If you know anybody with CF, you should read this book or have them read this. Don't let them read those early books on CF with the grim facts...have them read this with the true and helpful facts.
