In this episode, we tackle the tough, personal, and often uncomfortable questions that don’t always get talked about when we visit our cystic fibrosis (CF) team—those questions that many are thinking but may not know how to bring up.

Should I wear protection during sex?

Why do I keep getting thrush?

Is vaping really that risky for someone with CF?

What’s with the smelly farts?

Can I kiss someone who has a cold?

We’re joined by Kate, a CF Clinical Nurse Consultant, who gives expert, honest answers in a quick-fire round designed to break down stigma and bring clarity to tricky topics. Whether you’ve had these questions yourself or want to better understand the realities of CF, this episode is here to open the conversation—with respect, care, and zero judgement.

We may talk cover topics that you could find triggering. If you would like to speak to someone, contact the National CF Support Line on 1300 CF HELP (23 4357) or email one of our support team at CFTogether on enquires@cftogether.org.au.
