Lung Transplant

I am 58 years old. My Pulmonologist says I may need a lung transplant if the meds I’m on don’t show any signs of the lung scarring slowing down. I would like to know if anybody close to to my age had a lung transplant?I am skeptical about major surgery when you’re not young.

What do you feel is best I am moderate at moment but If I get to the stage I need one I would seriously consider it
