I am now 63. I was diagnosed with copd about 10 years ago. When the doctors couldn't offer me anything more to help I was referred to a specialist who eventually referred me to Wythenshawe. You usually go in for a few days to make sure you are fit enough for transplant. I decided to ave a good family holiday and then went on list September 2012. I ad a fairly long wait but some only waited a few weeks. Sue E
