It causes the lungs to produce a lot of mucus, making it difficult to breathe. Not long ago, people with Cystic Fibrosis didn't live past childhood or early teens, but now there are treatments that can help them live into their 20s or early 30s. =[ [ Jeanne's advice column | Ask Jeanne A Question ]
