Lung transplant

Anyone here have a lung transplant? As my dr wants me to consider it. Looking for more info than what he gave me and some personal experience. Thanks

  1. How wonderful that you are a potential candidate for a lung transplant, . I have a friend whose son has cystic fibrosis and recently had his third. Each transplant has lasted at least ten years if not more. If you do get the surgery, I hope you fair at least as well. One of our health leaders wrote about a lung transplant experience in this article: https://copd.net/living/a-transplant-story. I thought it might interest you. I hope you get responses from others in the community and that you feel well prepared to make a decision. Keep us posted if you don't mind. I will be thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member)

    1. Hi,I'm Cynthia and at the end of my requirements for the lung transplant thank you for the story I really it really helped.

    2. Hi Cynthia! Just to clarify, were you approved for a transplant? Do you have a surgery date yet? I hope you'll be able to have it done and, most importantly, that you see fantastic improvement afterward. All the best! -Melissa, team member
