Aging with CF - We're Here, Now What?
Session Format
Small-Group Discussion
Description
They told us we would not make it beyond the first decade of our lives. We’ve made it, so now what? In this session, we will explore how improved survival brings new challenges, like rising rates of co-morbidities, hearing doctors say things like, "I don't know, people with CF have never lived to be this old", planning for a future you might not have expected, and so much more! Join us for an energized conversation as we share ideas and feelings about growing older.
Session Objectives
  1. Discuss the victories of reaching this milestone, but also the challenges and opportunities ahead.
  2. Share ideas on how to reach the 50+ club and beyond.
  3. Foster encouragement and support from peers in a space where attendees can express delight, fears, and concerns.
