Lung Transplant list ...

Hi all,

A while ago I posted that my mother is going through assessment to be on the transplant list ... now after what felt like an age we went to sign the papers ... I am happy but also very apprehensive about the worst case possibilities...

They still need a week or so to do more internal checks but they will call when it’s all finalised !

I wanted to let you guys know ... as reading your posts have been a source of solace and inspiration....

Update——————-

Mum signed the papers to go on the list on the 26th of Feb. We are still waiting to hear back, I called on Monday and they said they are still sorting things out and that they would call us...

Question, is this normal ... it’s over 2 weeks now since we signed the papers ... should we be worried ?

Hi there, I do hope all the tests results are good for your Mum. I had a double lung transplant in May '18 and it has made a huge difference to my life, no more dragging oxygen everywhere! Once she gets the go ahead remember there will possibly be a waiting time until the transplant, but when the phone rings and tells you to get into the hospital quick....its scary but positive...Good luck ! x
