Hi, I had a Double Lung Transplant on March 2, 2024 after being sick since 2015. The last 2 years were the worst and today although not 100% as there are challenges after but, the before is worse so although I am so very grateful to my Do her I am not sure if I would do it again as everyone deals differently and until your faced with that dicision is when you will know. If your doctor feels you are a canidate and you have a supportive family and you want to live then go for it. ..ask a lot of questions and write them all down. I had all my testing at UCLA and all my lung treatment and they are excellent, from the moment you and your team say yes, there with you through everything. If you want to discuss more please let me know. Good luck and God Bless🙏🙏

Thanks for your reply. I mentioned it to my pulmonologist and she sounded like I might not be eligible for a transplant. Maybe since I have RA along with schleroderma. I've wondered if it is worth it or not. I know it's difficult.
Thanks again for writing back to me. Life isn't always easy!
