ResearchCon 2022 | Is It My Age or Is It Cystic Fibrosis?

How does CF affect my body as I get older? Am I experiencing natural aging issues? Are these questions you’re beginning to ask yourself? If so, join three clinicians and an adult with cystic fibrosis as they discuss palliative care, hormone changes, and cancer screening. Learn if what you are experiencing is because you are getting older, or because you have CF. During this session, we will debunk the myths of palliative care, highlight what happens to hormones over your lifetime, introduce recommendations for GI cancer screenings, and more.
