Home/ About CF/Living with Cystic Fibrosis

Living with Cystic Fibrosis

The Living with Cystic Fibrosis section is for those who are parents, caregivers or patients newly diagnosed with cystic fibrosis as well as those who have had cystic fibrosis for a while and want to know more than “just the basics”.

Reviewing these main areas can benefit everyone, specifically physiotherapy treatment options and overall health and wellness.

You can also jump to sections that can help with age specific concerns.

Bonnie Brillinger

Age 42, London, Ontario

My name is Bonnie Brillinger. I am now at the lucky age of 42. I was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at 10 months of age. My biggest challenge with cystic fibrosis has been the insecurity of what the disease holds for my future.

In 2013, almost half of Canadians newly diagnosed with cystic fibrosis were under the age of six months.
