I have a male friend, age 36 (!) with CF.  He is actually in great
shape - he runs and is very active.  However, he is pretty nonchalant
about his disease, and only gets a check up once a year.  I know that
this may be part of the reason for his great condition (mind over matter)
but would feel more comfortable if he was checked-up more frequently.
He seems to be having a harder time getting rid of infections when he
gets them.

Does anyone know of any research protocols that are going on that he
may be considered for?  My theory is that if he looks at it as less of
a check-up, he may be more willing to see a doc.

Thanks in advance for your help!
