whereas today it is currently 38.4, and rapidly extending. So life expectency is 38 times more in about 50 years.

In which years was the biggest jump in life expentancy and what medical development was primarly the cause of this jump?

What i mean is, was there some treatment that was invented that all of sudden made L.E. for CF 10 times what it was, and when did this happen?

On Jun 23rd my 4yr old son had to put in the hospital due to an accute pancreatitis attack. He has been home for 2 weeks and still has diarrhea,belly pain,and bloating. We had him to his gastro doctor yesterday and he wants to check him for Cystic Fibrosis. He has no lung symptoms or anything but they really seem to be leaning towards this disease. Can someone give me some info and let me know if I have to to worry about this or not. Please any info would help.
thank you guys so much for your answers. I just always thought that you had to have breathing problems with this disease. I will check out these websites and keep updated.
