   Comments: Early identification saves lives! Each baby in Canada should have testing available for CF with their Newborn Screening testing regardless of the province in which hey were born. The blood needed is minimal, and the baby is having their blood taken for screening for other disorders. Identification as an infant leads to earlier treatment, and hopefully fewer hospitalizations.

   Name: Nathan Fish on Feb 5, 2013

   Comments: My name is Nathan Fish, I am 37 years old and live in London, Ontario. I have cystic fibrosis but was only diagnosed 10 years ago as a result of a severe lung infection. I was a young professional, working full time and it was an incredible challenge to juggle my life around to accomodate my cf. Fortunately today I am able to still work full time. After my diagnosis I joined Cystic Fibrosis Canada as a volunteer member of the Adult Cystic Fibrosis Committee, primarily to learn more about how to deal with this disease. I was involved in the efforts to bring Newborn Screening to Ontario and believe that had it been available when I was born, my lung function could be better than it is today. It is not only a physical detriment to not treat cf for so long but is incredibly difficult emotionally to deal with a diagnosis like that as an adult. Therefore I encourage Nova Scotia to adopt New Born Screening to not only improve the outcomes of babies born today but to prevent them from going through experiences like I had to later in life. Thank you, Nathan Fish Chair, Adult Cystic Fibrosis Committee

   Comments: My daughter was diagnosed with CF this year. We have no family history. We are so thankful that we were able to start her life sustaining treatments 2.5 weeks after her birth because of newborn screening.

    Comments: My 3 yr old Grandson is showing signs of digital clubbing, has had his tonsills removed due to monthly flare ups yet we can't get a doctor to do a simple sweat test!!! If he was screened at birth for CF , maybe he'd be getting the right treatments from the start and wouldn't have had to be put on antibiotics every month or the surgery! we're in New Brunswick, how do we get him tested?

    Comments: Newborn screening is how we found out our son has CF. He was diagnosed at 3 weeks therefore he has never been sick, never been malnourished and has a much better chance for a brighter future. I think all children deserve this chance.

    Comments: My 31 year old daughter has CF. She was 4 months at diagnosis (I diagnosed her after seeing a commercial on TV for CF) I would like to see the newborn testing - many of us have no idea we are trait carriers and our children suffer for it. At least with newborn testing there won't be the failure to thrive for no apparent reason, medical intervention will be immediate!!
