Hi There, Sorry for not being in touch the latest update is very good my transplant is a success the new lungs are great it.s like being born again, i had only one issue after my operation i never had the strength to bring up the Flem in my new lungs and I collapsed 4 days later they put me into a induced come for two day and went back in to my new lungs and cleaned out them out it was like two transplant within 4 days, my recovery since then has been remarkable i was ready to go home after 4 weeks my Lung capacity was at a level of 92% after 4 weeks when they are happy when others are 50% after 5 months they say they have never seen stats like this, If anyone wants to know anything about my operation please ask and i will be happy to answer.Mattcass
