So sad :(

My friend (age 28) told me today he's got CF. Having not known anything about it I've just been reading information on the internet and am so shocked and saddened when faced with life expectancy statistics. He is such a great guy and can't believe that he may not be here in ten years time. I'm so upset for him <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">

First I want to say I am glad you are trying to become educated. The internet is a great & horrific thing regarding CF.

One thing you need to remember is that every CFer is different. Your friend might not be here in 5 years OR he may be here in 20 years.

I do understand your sadness, but please dont let it consume you. I know that is easier said then done and with time you will adapt to the news better, but I wanted to point out the need to find that balance.

Is your friend a member here? Is he open about his CF? Is he realistic, optimistic or in denial? The way he handles things will help you and vice versa.
