CForYourself: Relationships and CF

The relationships we form are such an important part of our lives, whether that’s with your partner, loved ones, or colleagues. They shape the people we are, and those closest to us see us through the good and bad times; the milestones, the laughs and the tears. But sometimes balancing a relationship and a condition like CF can bring extra challenges to navigate, and we’re talking about this, as well as all the positive things it can bring to a relationship, in this episode of CForYourself.  

Lucy enjoys a cuppa with her fiancée Phil, to get his perspective on being in a relationship with someone who has CF. She also chats to husband and wife Cameron and Heather about their Tinder love story, how they navigate their relationship with Cameron’s CF, welcoming their beautiful baby boy through IVF, and lots more.
