It is with the utmost pleasure, ( and not a little trepidation, ) that I'm writing to tell you all that this morning at around 6a.m. British Time, finally and at long last Caspiana got the phone call she'd been waiting so bravely for. She was then taken to the hospital that will perform the transplant.
I was asked to inform all her many friends on the B.L.F. forum and to say that she'll be back as soon as she is well enough. As such I have no further information and unfortunately I am therefore unable to answer any questions you may have at this time. Should I learn anything new and I'm asked to post about it, then obviously I will.
I think we are all too aware of just how massive an operation this is so I'm quite sure that I won't be alone in sending her my love, all the very best luck in the world and with everything crossed for a speedy recovery. I'm certain she'll be back on the forum regaling us before we know it and for me that could never be soon enough ! I look forward to being able to post any news as I am asked to but for me, it would be infinitely preferable if she were able to post her news herself.
The transplant is scheduled for tomorrow at 6a.m. Japanese time providing the lung is a match and compatible. Thank you all for reading.
Nick.

Thanks for posting. I too wish her all the best and hope the lungs are a perfect match with an excellent recovery. Not forgetting, of course, her faithful companion, Chom, who will also be missing his mistress.
Wonderful news and i know that she has longed for this moment for some time but also she had great fear about the possible outcomes so although not religious i will cast a wish to the universe that all goes well for her and she is soon back with us with those wonderful new lungs.Please all think also of the very generous donor and their family for this gift to Cas,
We need a complete and swift successful procedure and a rapid recovery,don't forget a miniature fishing village needs to be completed and i am sure Cas is aware of that and it's importance will aid in her recovery.
Cas will laugh at your reply when she comes home and i don't doubt that you will be in trouble for it as i will make sure she sees your flippant remark.you may well feel the teeth of Chom in your rear end.
This is wonderful positive news. I hope the lungs will be compatible for Cas and I'll be thinking of her this evening at 10pm, which I calculate will be 6am in Japan - I'm sure someone will tell me if I'm wrong.
Much love, strength and positive energy winging round the world right now.
At Last , I have been out all Day, So to come Home and see this Notice , I am over the Moon my Dear Lung Buddy Cas. Thank you so Much for making me Very happy to Read this wonderful News. I am with you My Darling Buddy. All Will go Well, I feel it. Thinking of you Every Minute Cas. Love & Gentle Hugs My Dear Friend. All my Love to You & Chom. XXXXX
Oh my goodness brave Cas. It is all so sudden though I knew she had been on the waiting list for a while. Fingers crossed that all goes well for her. I am not sure whether to be dismayed or pleased coz as you say it is a major op. I hope darling Cas comes though it with flying colours. I am not religious but will be praying for her.
Thanks for letting us all know and please pass on my love when you can. x
Thanks for letting us know this wonderful news. Hope it is a match so the operation can go ahead . Wishing dear Cas all the best for a successful outcome and as Soulboy said kind thoughts for the donors family.
I havnt been on for two weeks, as still away on holiday, just popped on site to see this wonderful news... Wishing you the very best for the opp and a speedy recovery....sending reiki healing your way...hope to hear from you very soon xxx
Very best wishes for a perfect match and an uncomplicated recovery for Cas, and a little prayer for the surgeons who'll be doing the op'- and for the donors family. In my thoughts till we hear more news xx
Thanks so much for letting us know. I’ll be thinking of Cas and wishing her a good recovery. We will miss her and the updates about her village which hopefully she’ll be back to working on soon. Sending all good wishes her way. She will be in my prayers, as will be the donor’s family. And not forgetting Chom who hopefully is being looked after by someone who’ll spoil him as much as Caspiana does 🐕
Fantastic news. Sending her all my very best wishes and look forward to hearing all her news when she is back on the forum. I always enjoyed her posts. 💐☘
At last, a dream come true for Cas ❤️ So pleased to hear that she has at last the chance of new lungs. Big love and gentle hugs to you, Cas. Wishing and hoping all is going perfectly for you 🌹🌱🌿🍀🌈 xx
Dear Nick,if you have some way of conveying these replies to Caspiana as and when she has recovered from the trauma of the operation i am sure we would all be very grateful and also that Cas would be delighted to receive and hear/view them.
i know from previous experience that sometimes these simple things are almost of a medicinal value in that persons recovery and well being.
It was my fullest intention to forward every word to her at an appropriate time. Also, I think she has full access to the forum anyway and I'm fairly certain that she'll be on it as soon as she is able. I think it will be a kind of lifeline for her because, as I understand it, she has to be in a kind of quarantine for a time. Thank you for the thought though.
Yes i understand that the regime in Japan is far more rigorous than here in the uk and she will spend a considerable time in the hospital and i imagine with their technology and Cas's determination it should not be too long before she hears from us,but obviously the daughters,family and of course Chom must have first bite at the cherry
Japan's transplant system is indeed very rigorous due in no small part I think, to the fact that it is almost insular as a nation and as such they have a very limited organ pool which means they go to what seems to be even greater lengths to ensure the transplant is a success when compared to other countries' methods. To my mind this can only be good for Caspiana, albeit very tedious for her. 😴☹
Having researched japanese hospitals and their medical regime which is heavily controlled by the attending physician and less focused on the patients wishes i forsee battles ahead for our Cas but she is a determined and strong young lady and i am sure she will overcome any obstacles in her way
Hi Nick, Good Morning, Yes as Ski's says were all a big family, Cas & I go back from when we started our Journey on the Transplant List, We are Known As "Lung Buddies" I was waiting for two lungs, Cas told me she needed a Single Lung Transplant.
