Excerpt of your comment
Thanks for the information, and I am sorry to hear of the complications with Parkinson's after...

Their reply
There are few things I would ask myself and my medical team if it was me.
1. How is my quality of life currently? Am I happy and able to enjoy my life as is with the LVAD?
2. How is my life restricted with the LVAD? What will my life be like without the LVAD?
**Essentially pros and cons list
3. At my age am I a candidate for transplant?
4. At my age what is my recovery like and anticipated life expectancy post transplant? (Keeping in mind everyone is different)
5. What testing must be done in order to be listed as a candidate for transplant.
6. Is there a certain age where additional testing may be required or requested.
7. Are there other patients in my age range that would be willing to discuss their recovery. (my dad met a patient only a few months younger, he had a wonderful recovery and success).
I certainly wish you the very best! Transplant is such a wonderful gift and such an impressive medical treatment. The advances of medicine are incredible. I think it is great that you are reaching out to others and doing your research.
