Correction: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that the lifespan of cystic fibrosis patients is will increase 75 percent by 2015.

If you have cystic fibrosis, you may have mucus thatâs too thick or sweat thatâs too salty.If heavy mucus clogs your lungs, itâs hard to breathe. It can also block your pancreas, an organ in your belly, so you canât digest your food as well.ut itâs different for everyone. Symptoms are mild for some people and severe for others. The good news is that most people with cystic fibrosis now live twice as long as they did 30 years ago. Today, some people are living into their 40s, 50s, or longer. The key is to get treatment as early as possible.
