After having a rocky time being removed from the list as transplant would be too risky to being placed back on the list for 8 weeks review to make a judge that the window has closed or not, my mother got a call 29th October at around 9.30pm that someone would be picking her up at 11.30pm for transplant. She is on the single lung transplant list and received an offer of a left lung. She had her surgery at 5am on the 30th October. It’s early days but she’s out of surgery and doing ok for now.
Overwhelmed for the opportunity for transplant and the generosity of the donor their family to give my mother the chance at a better quality of life.

This is very encouraging news to as I am finding it difficult to decide although all the Drs say now is the time b4 missing the window of opportunity. Great news , rgards to mum. Plse take care of her.
Assessment can be a lengthy process depending on tests to be done ... if at least a referral has been sent it give you the opportunity to get more details and you can make an informed decision... thanks for your kind words
Good Morning Hun, Hope all is well with your Mum and she gets stronger each day. Could I ask what age your Mum is ? Hope you don't mind me asking. Sending Love & Gentle Hugs to you Both. C. XXX
For some reason i missed this and just wanted to wish your Mum a gentle and full recovery after having received that wonderful gift and best wishes for you both for a far more rosier future after all the worry and stress you have gone through.
