5.0 out of 5 stars A Definite "Must Read", March 8, 2000
This review is from: Cystic Fibrosis: A Guide for Patient and Family (Paperback)
This book is an essential read for: Anyone who has a child with CF, anyone who has a friend with CF, anyone who has a sibling with CF, anyone who has a spouse with CF, anyone who has a parent with CF, anyone who works with people with CF. In short, if you have any contact at all with someone with CF, this book can help educate you. I have had CF for 25 yrs now, and I learned more than a few things.

5.0 out of 5 stars Knowledge is power!, August 22, 2000
By The Petersons (Portland, Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cystic Fibrosis: A Guide for Patient and Family (Paperback)
My daughter was just diagnosed with CF. The pulmonary specialist gave me a copy of this book and I couldn't put it down. It is certainly a valuable reference tool in how to best combat this condition. We only hope a third edition will be put into print soon so as to update all of us on the constantly changing advances made in the field. Buy this book and keep it accessible, you will need it!

5.0 out of 5 stars I have read every bit of material on CF this book has it all, February 3, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Cystic Fibrosis: A Guide for Patient and Family (Paperback)
Since my daughter was diagnosed 11 years ago with CF I have searched for any bit of material of this disease I could find. What I did find was bits and pieces that did not cover all the aspects of CF. This book leaves nothing out. I have shared it with my whole family.
