TFMR: Cystic Fibrosis and when a couple doesn't agree

Hello and welcome back.Today I'm speaking with Natalie and her experience of receiving a Cystic Fibrosis diagnosis for her son Lachlan, which can be considered what we call in this community a 'grey diagnosis'. What is probably more accurate is to say CF is a spectrum diagnosis, something very common in a lot of people's experience of TFMR.The added twist in Natalie's story is that her and her partner, Andrew, did not initially agree on how to proceed with this information. Natalie felt that a TFMR would be best for Lachlan, Andrew was, in Natalie's words, 'more optimistic' and felt they should give Lachlan a chance.We are so grateful to Natalie for coming on and telling their story. We've never had someone talk about the impasse between themselves and their partner. How does a couple work this out - while staying together?You'll have to listen to find out.We really hope you enjoy this episode, that it's supportive and gives you hope for the future.You know we love to hear from you, so please get in touch and let us know what you think.Social media: Instagram @TimeToTalkTFMR.Email is [email protected] episode is supported by Antenatal Results and Choices.
