Hey guys, I know I haven't written in a while, truth is I haven't really had the time too! college work is literally taking over my life and so is work placement and sorting out open day events for uni.
Quick update on the CF side of things, my lungs, liver and pancreas are all doing good, its just my stomach that being a little bugger at the minute! I have a swollen belly which makes me look like I'm pregnant, The stomach doctor is trying to sort it out so hopefully it will all be fixed soon.
The main reason why I am writing today is because last night on a social networking site I came into an argument with a woman who's attitude literally stunk towards people with CF having the right to get a pancreas transplant, I believe she had Diabetes and was telling me how I have denied someone a "cure" for Diabetes by receiving my pancreas, I also had Diabetes type one as well as CF and it has fixed my Diabetes and pancreatic insufficiency, meaning I don't have to take Creon. She tried to tell me that she would take my pancreas away from me because I was taking it away from someone else. In America they haven't registered pancreas transplants for Diabetics and she had a go at me because my pancreas was wasted on me. For one, I HAD Diabetes and two I also have CF, she needs to try living with both illnesses put together and get some education on CF. Her attitude towards CF and people needing life saving transplants stunk. She said that the pancreas should of gone to someone as a "cure" instead of a life prolonger. Well ACTUALLY it isnt a cure, I got told that I always have Diabetes but my symptoms are relived and it can come back! So clearly she is mistaken on that too! Anyone who is willing to take the life of another just for there own needs is disgusting, she is shallow minded and needs to clearly get out of her bubble.
People can do amazing things with CF and new organs will give them the life that they need, anyone who needs an organ is deserving of a second chance of living and thoroughly deserves it after being through the process of transplantation.
Thanks you to my friends of Cfaware for backing me up, if you are still uncertain on what cf is, go to @cfaware on twitter and they can give you all the information you need!
