Over the next 14 episodes, I’m going to be exploring the complex world of Cystic Fibrosis, from the initial diagnosis and treatment of it, to going to school, getting a job, and even falling in love. You’ll hear from the experts of CF: the people living with it everyday and their friends and family, as well as the people who dedicate their lives to researching it and treating it. It’s not always going to be pretty, but it will give you a chance to meet some amazing people living extraordinary lives. Before all of that though, what even is Cystic Fibrosis?
