CFStrong covers the successes and challenges faced by those living with cystic fibrosis. You’ll hear first-person stories, conversations with health professionals, friends and partners. Just a heads up that guests may share their personal views about treatments and health management but please remember this is not medical advice, and you should always follow the advice of your clinic team regarding your health. Sam: Hello, and welcome to the CFStrong podcast. I am your host, Sam, and today with me, I have Scott. Hey Scott. Do you mind just telling us a little bit about yourself and your family? Scott: Yes, mate. How you going? I'm 40 years old, currently living in the Southern Highlands, married with three kids, so yeah. We have small business or a couple of small businesses. My wife has just started a small business of her own making cakes and cupcakes, and on the golf pro by trade, but now we run the pro shop at Campbelltown golf club. Sam: A pro golf by trade. As in you've played golf in on the world stage, or is it more of a local pro golf scene? Scott: Yes, more locally. I did go overseas a couple of times, not on the world stage, unfortunately. That was the dream, but obviously, I didn't get there, but played a couple of the island events in Fiji, Samoa, Tahiti and New Caledonia and then right around Australia. I played most of my professional golf before having to settle down and start working back in the pro shop and which has been around Sydney for the, most of my career. Sam: That's really exciting. It sounds like you've had a good experience in the golf sector with all the travels. Scott: Yes Sam: I'm guessing that would also made you stay very fit in regards to looking after your CF as well. Scott: Yes. It's actually been a bit of a blessing taking that path with golf. It obviously gets you outdoors a lot of the time but working in the pro shops, we also are indoors, so it's a bit of a good mixture. It's not like you're out in the sun all day but I'm not also sitting at a desk. It keeps me active. Taking up golf as a career was something that my parents—my dad was a good golfer, so that's where I got it from. He wanted to turn pro. When I said I was keen to do it, he was all for it. So I did a trainee ship as a professional golfer back when I was 19. You learn along the way that doors open here and there in that industry, which is why I'm still in the industry today. I love golf. You can do a lot of things, travel the world, obviously and meet a lot of interesting people, but also getting a game of golf in all the times is fun as well. Sam: My dad's an incredible golfer, but myself personally, I like to stick to the mini golf because the skills unfortunately did not pass down the generation. Scott: That's alright. Sam: Just wanted to go back to your family, you mentioned you had three kids, how—what are their ages and what do they like to do? Scott: I've got a boy that's eight-year-old next month, he's turning 8 I should say. I've got a five-and-a-half-year-old boy and a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter. They're full on. They enjoy doing everything at the moment, which is great. They haven't really picked up anything that they want to do, particularly because they're just loving doing soccer, bike riding, footy, guitar lessons have started up,

In this episode of the CFStrong podcast we chat with Tony about his experience getting involved in clinical trials. Tony shares his experience and his advice for anyone interested in putting their hand up for a clinical trial. ”Look, I would say it's important they do the homework, read a little bit about the medication, if you can. Nine times out of 10, it's there's nothing about on the internet, but in saying that the hospital staff, you know, or the clinical staff or whoever the person that's helping you with the trial, they give you enough information, to give you a very good understanding of how the drug works and what the background is behind it. I would basically make a list of questions and I would ask, you know, the clinical trial staff, all the questions and concerns I have. Transcript Voiceover: Welcome to the CFStrong podcast.

Thanks, Tony. And yes, thank you so much for joining us. Let's chat a little bit about clinical trials. So first off, what is a clinical trial? Tony: Basically, a clinical trial is a research study. It's performed on people who basically basically want to try out different drugs or, you know, hospitals or medical fields or even companies. They want to try different drugs. So, they put you in a study where a drug is trialed on you. And basically, that's that's a little bit about what a clinical trial is. Kirby: And when did you first participate in a clinical trial? When was your first one? Tony: Um, my first clinical trial would have been? I was about 25 years old. Yeah, I was 25 years old. That was my first clinical trial. Kirby: So that's about 15 years ago, roughly. Yeah, Tony: Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Kirby: And how many trials have you been a part of in the last 15 years? Tony: I've actually, I've done three in the past. And I'm actually doing one at the moment so four in total, including this one. Kirby: Can you tell us about one of the clinical trials that you have been on in the past? I know we can't talk much about the one that you're on at the moment. But can you tell me about one of the trials that you've been on in the past? And talk to me about what what that whole experience was like? Tony: Yeah, yeah. Look, the experience, it's overwhelming. It's a, it's a good feeling. It's definitely going into a trial, you, you question it, it's normal. And once you're in the trial, it's like you're in the zone, you know, things are going good, and you feel good about yourself. For me, you know, when I did my last trial, which would have been about, was pre COVID, it actually felt, felt good. Going in there was overwhelmed. A little bit hesitant. But with reassurance, I kind of went in with, you know, basically, a lot of knowledge, it was a good feeling, exciting feeling. Straight off the bat, I felt a change and improvement. This was an inhaled medication, which I did. Definitely,

Podcast: Bryce on travelling with CF
Bryce on travelling with CF Travelling with CF can sometimes feel daunting. There's a lot to think about. But Bryce, a teacher from NSW who lives with CF, says the effort is more than worth it. In this episode, Bryce chats about travelling with CF, the tips and tricks that worked for them and their advice to anyone wanting to travel. Transcript Welcome to the CF Strong Podcast.

Sam: Hello and welcome to the CF Strong podcast. Today we have Bryce Blackmore back again. Today we'll be talking about traveling with cystic fibrosis. Myself and Bryce are both pretty avid travelers. We wanted to come together and discuss our experiences and maybe even share some tips and tricks with other people with cystic fibrosis who would like to travel. Like, we want you to know that's possible. Bryce, would you want to start by maybe just telling us a little bit why you believe travel is so important and how come you have done so much travel in your time, and also where you've gone? Bryce: Yes, thank you. Travel is really important. Well, I mean, for multiple reasons. I probably didn't know exactly what I was going to get out of it when I first started traveling. It all began when I was a kid. My parents are very avid travelers as well. They've traveled all over the world, much before I was born, and they continued to do so and so they had that passion already. When I was born, they wanted to continue that. They took us to places like the usual kind of destinations, Bali, et cetera, Thailand, and then that extended to America when I had, I was lucky enough to have a make a wish, to Disneyland when I was a kid, which was extremely lucky. Then it just kind of ignited something inside of me, my family, my brother as well, to just continue traveling. They were always big on going to weird and whacky places and not necessarily all the tourist stuff and getting us to kind of be a little bit independent when we were traveling as we kind of moved up and through the ages. Then, I just wanted to see the world. It was just too much to see and not enough time and I realised that if I'm going to be here, let's just get everything in, pack it in there as much as I possibly can. It just sounded like the best thing to do. Any opportunity that I had, as soon as I finished school, I jumped straight into a degree in teaching and science degree and then immediately, just kept saving money to travel and every holiday break at the end of the year from uni, I'd always just go somewhere different. Third world countries were a great place to start and then extended out to Europe and then a lot of other travels. I've kind of done a lot of Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, that area, Bali, Americas, Canada, and then a whole heap of countries through Europe, India, Nepal, yeah a lot of them. I just absolutely love it. I mean, there's just so much to get out of traveling about learning about who you are and then just seeing different people, different traditions, customs, how the world works outside of our little bubble. It's got everything to give and it takes very little away from you. I think it's just worth doing for everybody. Sam: It's interesting actually, because what you were saying before about your family being very avid travelers, it's very similar to me because when I was younger my parents took a massive risk and relocated to America with like three younger kids because they've always been all about travel and adve...
