Actually, I should be dead by now : Learning to live from someone who sees every day as a gift

«I'm 29 and I'm supposed to be dead by now. But you don't always have to do that, what others say.» - Markus Hänni

My name is Markus Hänni and I have cystic fibrosis.

Anyone who enters this term into Google will automatically find the word «life expectancy».

With over 100,000 hits. There it says at the top of a medical information page: Patients who became ill in the 90s live to be 40 to 45 years old; before that 30 years.

My diagnosis was in the '80s. I'm 29 now.

I could choke. But I don't want to.

For life is far too beautiful . . .
