What is Cystic Fibrosis?

Cystic fibrosis is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 children and adults in the United States (70,000 worldwide). A defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that:
clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections; and obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food.

Trip to Dermatologist

Well… I had 5 pre-cancers off of my face… 2 off my back, 2 off my hand, 1 off my elbow, 1 off my chest…. Then I had to get a biopsy from my nose and chest!.... Probably looking at having to get a plastic surgeon if it turns out to be cancer on my nose….. Hey… I don’t even need a costume for Halloween!

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely, in an attractive and well preserved body; but rather, to skid in sideways - chocolate in one hand, martini in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, ‘Whoo-hoo! What a ride!’” Anonymous
