Just to clear up any misconceptions out there - you cannot "fully recover" from cystic fibrosis. It's a genetic, progressive disorder that has no cure. The new medications are having a great impact on cystic fibrosis patient's lives by slowing down the progression of the disease but that is not a cure!

What about double lung transplants? I read about someone with CF having the surgery & while they didn’t use the exact wording of “it was a cure” it is pretty much what they said. Definitely more than implied. Is that how it works though? That even though your body will always technically have Cystic Fibrosis that by replacing your lungs with a double transplant that your body would mostly behave like someone without? Or is it maybe that years of suffering from CF takes such a toll on your lungs with so much damage that it’s basically just rewinding to where you’re lungs were at years ago, but will likely in time damage again from it? Thanks for your previous helpful informative comment BTW, & for any help answering mine.

As someone who is close to someone who has had one because of CF it is only a way to keep them from dying. CF still requires you to be in and out of the hospital all the time.

Even after a transplant
