Today marks one year since #Kaftrio was approved for 6 to 11 year olds across the UK. This was a huge milestone, following years of campaigning by the CF community 💛 (1/3)

I did a full consultation today for liquid diet post oesophageal surgery with progression to fork mashable before returning to normal textured food. Upper GI surgery is awesome! #rd2b
