I woud start to cry. I would cry for so long knowing that I didn't have this ugly disease sitting on the back of my shoulder, and that I could actually think about planning my retirement someday. I think I would definitly slow down a bit in life, and enjoy every single thing there is. I know for me, it seems that I'm always on a deadline - have to be engaged and married by a certain age, have to have kids by a certian age, etc, because I know I won't have all the time in the world to do it. I don't really think that there is a certain thing I would do, that I can't do now though - the only thing that would change, would be that I wouldn't ahve to go to the doctors every 3 months. That would be so cool!

i'm way too attached to cf, i wouldn't let them cure me. like you said, it's part of my identity...i have to die with it, being cured would seperate me from my friends who have gone before me, and i wouldn't do that.

While a noble opinion and I see your point, I think your perspective would surely change when you were say, in your 30's in a long term relationship and the typical issues come up (kids, home, career, retirement, etc etc).

I have to say my opinion was much like Maggies at her age and then my health started to fail me and I nearly died. Then I thought to myself, hmm... lets weigh this out die or get a cure and live a wonderful life with my family.

As for what I would do if I found a cure tomorrow. I would get pregnant ASAP!!!! I want more babies!

I do like my life, but if I didn't have CF I would Run and hopefully be pregnant! Nice to think about sometimes!

Oh and then I think we'd have to stop by Seans house to have a huge "cured" party where we could all party for like 3 days straight (drinking form one punch bowl..yikes!) and remember friends that aren't there.

Thanks for putting us up Sean thats really solid of you.

I have been thinking about this. Its one of those things like winning the lottery....so many opportunities so what to do first. I think we would have one hell of a family vacation & then I would go for another child. Eventually I would like to return to work also or even own my own business.....
