Before the doctors discovered Mycobacterium in my lungs in 2008 I had a lung function of max 119%. Mycobacterium is a bacterium caused to diminish your lung capacity rapidly. My lung function dropped severely from 119% to 33%. The doctors prepared my mom to have a lung transplant in the near future. In the mean time we are 6 years further and I am still breathing through my own lungs. Together with my mom I am doing my homework! We are doing a lot of research where to get my lung transplant because not every facility will approve me for a transplant but guess what. I never lose faith, I am a real fighter and I will not give in easily to receive new lungs so I am very dedicated to do my daily treatments. My mom calls it though love but that is the only way I listen! I am out of the hospital for a month and I still receive my aggressive IV medication to kill the Mycobacterium before it kills me for another 3 months. I feel very fatigue and some days I sleep through the day, other days I can dance and do what I love to do, this are the odds according the medication but I refuse to be beat by this wrench thrown in the road! Thanks to my mom and the support of her boyfriend I reach my potential at the gym every day with a smile on my face! TO ALL CFers, train your lungs and body every day! NEVER GIVE UP! Life is beautiful !
