Month 5 of IV antibiotics out of 6 (maybe?). Goalposts keep moving and i’m not sure if I will end these IVs in Jan or whether we continue longer… just want concrete answers. Taking time off in Jan to focus on health as if this is my last month of IVs I want to try my best to make it count!

Hello everyone, it’s been a while. Finished treatment end of April. Got engaged in June πŸ₯³ and then…found out my cavity in my lung has become the same size as before treatment so back on 12 weeks of IVs (at least), was in a car accident.. waiting for a scan on halloween to discuss treatment further

haven’t been on here in forever, i’m sorry to hear what you’re been going through! But woohoo to halfway! πŸ₯³ I can absolutely relate as you have to just get it done no matter how horrible it all gets. Thinking of you πŸ’›

if you have followed me for my CF - hi πŸ‘‹πŸΌ. I have NTM as some of you may know and am about to try an eradication attempt yet again for 12 weeks 😬 i’m hopeful but trying to remain realistic that i’ll get better but probably won’t get rid of it completely. #CF #cysticfibrosis #NTM

I know most of you are unaware of my CF and have followed me for my research but from next week i shall be embarking on 12 weeks of intravenous antibiotics and then a surgery on my lungs in order to help my health. My research is paused until May - I’ll be excited to get back to it! #cysticfibrosis
