Cystic Fibrosis - My Story

My name is Katy and I am 23 years old. I just wanted to spread awareness about CF. Many people have heard of the disease but don't know exactly what it is about. Hoping that more awareness will lead to increased research and hopefully a cure in the near future!!

I thought i'd do a quick youtube search on CF and found your video. I have CF as well. I am 27 and married and lived the best life i can so far with plenty of exercise (since high school), albuterol, pulmozyne, adek, ultrase MT-20. I've been hospitalized only twice so far in my life as a young kid. The last test for my pulmonary function showed my lungs at somewhere between 89-91%. I could go on and on, but i just wanted to say keep on keeping on.Matt

hey katy! im a cf'er from New Zealand, and im also training to be a nurse (i think that im the only one in NZ so far). I love hearing that its possible- your video has been an inspiration to me, thanks for putting it on! Im 2 papers away from becomming a RN, and i cant wait to start nursing! do you have any tips on staying well while nursing cause i find it is really takes it toll physicaly. What area do you nurse in?

I am praying for you. Dont focus on how long the doctors say you will live. I believe you will live a long, happy life, because by all means you deserve it. Good luck, and thank you for being such an inspiration and helping find a cure. $9,000 is certainly something to be proud of!

hey katy. im a 28 year old guy from denmark. I got CF also... something in common. I just want to say that you inspire people like me. I also have a posetiv mind, and i don't let the CF get too me. If we all got a posetiv mind, like you and me, we can tell the world that CF is hurrible, but you can fight it. I also can thank my parents, for this life. So keep smiling, fight the cure. Best regards and hugs. Martin 28, copenhagen. denmark

i know how u feel. i am 13 and i have CF. what is weird is that the hospital i was born in didnt know me and my twin sis had CF till we were 8! i cant belive is survived that long without having meds, treatments, or any thing to help with my CF. my friends and family are very surportive, and without them i wouldnt be as healthy as i am now. like u and every other person out there iwth CF, CF does not affect or detremain what person we are. thx so much for this vid! DREAM ON! FIND A CURE! u rock
