Hi, I am new here I am 44 years old and the doctor suspects from my symptoms that I may have mild cf. I had breathing problems as a child, they seem to get better until I was a teenager and then I got bronchitis a few times a year that would last months. My gall bladder was removed when I was 24 and I was dxd with spastic colon and acid reflux. And now I have suspected chronic pancreatitis with exocrine insufficiency. I had a terrible respiratory infection last Feb. and the cough lasted until June.
Anyway they did the genetic test for cystic fibrosis and hereditary pancreatitis on November 30th. I called about a week after the test and they said that part of the results were back but part of them were pending and she would send the chart to the nurse to call me. When the nurse called she said the results were not in yet. They are still not in on Dec. 23 How long does it take for this test? Why won't they tell me about the results that are in? This waiting is very hard.
I am pretty frightened and looking for answers. My sister also has chronic digestive problems and COPD and Asthma and has had pneumonia 3 times in the last two years. She catches everything that comes in the house. She is afraid to go out.
