Hello
I have one-year-old boy diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at 6 months. We did the genetic test and the result was: M - G 542X heterozygous; 9T. Child‘s doctor says that the outcome would be a milder disease and he does not believe he will have major problems in the future. But another doctor said that whatever the result is this disease is severe. What is exactly this outcome?

F508del mutation treatment
Hello, following the results released yesterday by Vertex to treat patients with two delta F508 mutations, what it about the patients with only one delta F508 mutation? In fact, when our son was born in 2011 we were told that there will be a cure for one of the two mutations, but for now I can find no information about it. Is it possible that the treatment will work as intended by our CF Center doctor? Thank you for your response, best regards

Puddles and mud
Hello, My 6-year-old son loves to ride a bike in the woods in puddles of muddy water. Is it dangerous for him? Can he play outside, the days following rain? Could we let him play on wet toboggans? Play football? Thank you.

Towels
Hello, I have noted the need to wash our child’s towels after swimming but when we go on holiday, it is difficult to take 15 towels ... can we use the towel again if it was well dried? If we put it in the sun for example? Can we use two towels and alternate? And for the bath towel at the beach can we keep the same all week? Thank you. It's really not easy to know what to do, and more when the entourage gets involved and asks us many questions for which we have no answer, it's really hard !! Thank you for your support
