I had a double lung transplant a little over 2 years ago. Please see my spotlight interview for more insight. I would definitely do it again. It was either I die or I have the transplant. Not much of a choice. My son is a teenager and still needs his mother. If I were you and they said that you need a transplant, I would start the process. It is not a fast process to get listed. Then some people are listed for years. After going through the process of getting listed, you can also let them know that you are not ready. However, if you spiral down as I did you will have everything set up and then they can readjust your rating. There is a rating from 1-100. Most people have their transplant between 35-50. My rating when first listed was a 48, but within 2 months went to a 75.
