The genetic disease that is cystic fibrosis is not a cure. You can only try to delay the havoc that wreaks in the body of patients through early diagnosis and appropriate treatment and rehabilitation. In Europe, over forty thousand children and young adults suffer from cystic fibrosis, who, thanks to the progress in caring for patients, can reach the age of 36-40. In Poland it is still shorter.
What to do when cystic fibrosis is diagnosed in our family?
First of all, do not be afraid and hope. The ongoing scientific research may soon allow the launch of a drug that treats cystic fibrosis as a cause of disease. Today we treat her symptomatically. Constant contact with a specialist, contact with organizations caring for patients and their families will allow you to see that a child with cystic fibrosis can develop well and make at least some of their dreams come true. The list of cystic fibrosis treatment centers in Poland is available at www.mukowiscydoza.pl. There is also a lot of information that will help you get through a difficult time.
