In this CFStrong podcast episode, Alexa, a mother from Melbourne, shares her emotional journey after receiving her daughter Zoe's diagnosis of cystic fibrosis.



Alexa vividly recounts the moment she received the news, the overwhelming emotions that followed, and the subsequent whirlwind of appointments and reactions from family and friends.



Despite initial struggles and feelings of isolation, Alexa shares the importance of allowing oneself to feel the range of emotions, seeking information, and finding support. She offers reassurance to other parents facing similar situations, highlighting the gradual acceptance and adjustment process, and emphasising that while the journey may be daunting, there is hope and strength to be found along the way.
