What a sad story... But it's incredible how much progress has been done just in the past decade with the CFTR modulators and especially Trikafta (and afaik, another one is supposed to come out in the next few years, apparently it's even better than Trikafta). And there are also various mRNA therapies in development for those who can't take the current meds... It's insane, young people with CF today will probably have a normal lifespan.

I think this is the first time I've heard about a male having CF! Is it just much more common in females?
@karlenebrantleycoleman9687 Жыл бұрын
No. This disease is Autosomal Recessive so males and females are affected equally. It could just be your experience...

Amazing persons in this video. I met two girls with CF when I was only 9 yrs old at the hospital In 1979. They both were 11 and were much smaller than me. I once witnessed one of the girls having difficulty breathing and a lot of nurses rushed in the room to help her. I didn’t know what the symptoms were. I shared a room with both girls because I had an accident with boiling water and needed surgery. I’ll never forget those darling girls so sweet and kind. Both girls taught me the lyrics to the song Take Me Home Country Road by John Denver.

This once again makes one appreciate simple, but so necessary things like being able to just breathe freely. Sam's son and wife will have to go on without him. It is truly heartbreaking. It is very frustrating to see someone smoke especially when they are younger. Folks like Sam would give everything just to have a healthy lung while folks who choose to smoke willingly throw that gift away.

I think Sam did the best he could at the time. He was so hopeful through research a drug would become available that would allow him to not go through a lung transplant that has a limited "lifespan" itself. It was his decision and his wife supported him the whole way. As for his son, he is growing and thriving and he and his mom have an incredible support system of friends and family. I cannot imagine a world without Sam's son in it. He is amazing and brings joy to so many people.

Tomahawk1999 I'm sure he had considered a transplant but a transplant at 18 is hardly the best idea, especially if the person had a college plan. Maybe he wanted to make sure that he understood why he was doing it, making time to commit to the recovery and understanding the risks. Remember decision, time and risk are always the three most important things
@TheMusikat5 жыл бұрын
How do you know he didn’t consider a transplant? Maybe he was on the list and didn’t get a match in time. Maybe the doctors determined he wasn’t a candidate. For a lung transplant, there’s only a 50% chance that a patient on the list will get a transplant because there aren’t enough donors. Even those who get a transplant, there’s still only a 50% chance they will live five years. You need to educate yourself before making judgmental comments.

The 5 year life expectancy is only 50%. That's part of why I didn't have one. Lungs don't like being transplanted. They get inflammed with rejection and you die.
