3 day program for Lung transplant list

Joseph260268 profile image

Hello everyone,

Tomorrow I continue my journey at Wythenshawe hospital at Manchester in the UK. I arrive there Monday and I will be released on the Wednesday after I have had all the testing I am hoping to make it onto the lung transplant list for a double lung transplant. I have severe Bronchiectasis brittle asthma, one lung and I am on oxygen 24/7. As always I am prepared for the worst.

Is there anything anyone can tell me about the 3 day program?

Kind regards

Joseph Rogan

Thank you. Whatever knowledge I find out I will share. x

Hi Joseph you asked is there anything anyone can tell me about the 3 day program?

Well I had 16 tube things of blood taken for blood test, had CT scans, xray lots of other test including ultrasound of your heart etc, also other test included a dental xray to see if any dental work would be needed before any possible transplant.

Also you could seen by various medical assesers to see if you are suitable to go forward. Sounds a lot but they have it all planned out.

Best of luck Peter.
