Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

CF is horrible. I had no idea that there was a new treatment and that it was so effective.

Has a double lung transplant in 2007. My CF doctor told me today he doesn’t even really refer patients to transplant centers anymore because of the newest drugs.

It really is amazing. When I had my transplant , the post surgery rehab was walking on treadmills and light weights. My transplant rehab office was 60+ year olds and 20 year olds with CF, nothing really in between.

It’s awesome because the extra effect is that the lungs that CF patients would get can no goto another patient that needs them.
