“While there is no cure yet for cystic fibrosis (CF), people with CF are living longer, healthier lives than ever before. In fact, prior to the 1950s, children with the most common and most serious forms of cystic fibrosis rarely lived past age 5.  Today, babies born with CF are expected to live into their mid-40s and beyond. Life expectancy has improved so dramatically that there are now more adults with cystic fibrosis than children.  There are people living past their 70’s.”
