I would like to hear from anyone who has had a lung transplant

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!

It is worth it. Let the transplant doctor's tell you otherwise. My Pulmonologist & Infectious Disease Doctors at Kaiser both told me at different times I was not a canidate. I finally insisted on a referral to see the specialist and here I am breathing on my own. Never give up🙏
