How long would you say one could live if they have cystic fibrosis and lack the funds to buy the antibiotics needed to combat the mass of bacteria piling up in the respiratory tract to the point lesions are occuring and surgical intervention is required?

There's a pretty high standard derivation. But before antibiotics targeting specifically pseudomonas germs were a thing, the life expectancy was around 12 years. Also depends a bit on luck, i.e. if you get infected with lets say a MRSA it would look pretty bad without proper antibotics.
If you, however, have "celtic" CF (G501d x something, e.g. [math]\delta[/math]F508), and have somehow access to ivacaftor at a very young age, you might not need any antibiotics at all, or very few. Given that said therapy costs about 300k dollaritos per year, it's however safe to assume that in this scenario you would also have access to antibiotics.
