Lung Transplant update 3

Hello, I posted a few weeks ago about my mother’s lung transplant journey. To recap my mum is 62 and had her single lung transplant on the 30th October, since then she has spent 105 days in critical care. It has been traumatic on the whole family and of course my mother.Hello, I posted a few weeks ago about my mother’s lung transplant journey.

Lung Transplant for BO

I am meeting with my Lung Transplant team for the very first time. I have Bronchiolitis Obliterans. My only expectation is that they will give me a list of things to accomplish. If they don't, then I will know that there is no transplant ahead in my future. I am 63 years old.I am meeting with my Lung Transplant team for the very first time. I have Bronchiolitis Obliterans.

End-Stage doesn’t mean it’s the end.

Yes, I go on waiting list in September for a lung transplant (single or double is a new question). But I read about one emphysema patient still going strong after 17 years at stage IV. He lives alone, hoovers the carpet, does the shopping, and prepares meals.Yes, I go on waiting list in September for a lung transplant (single or double is a new question).

Husband on the transplant list

My husband is on the lung transplant list here in the UK which is wonderful. We know it could be a long wait and we are ok with that but I am struggling to keep going with “normal” life.My husband is on the lung transplant list here in the UK which is wonderful.

BO Update

I am about to have my first meeting and evaluation by the Lung Transplant Team at Temple. Any words of advice would be appreciated so much! I hope to stay up to date with my posts. I also started Oxygen in October. I fought the whole concept. But, now I find it to be very helpful.I am about to have my first meeting and evaluation by the Lung Transplant Team at Temple.
