@my44 everything has a risk associated with it. I try to weigh the risk/reward when I choose to fly, go out to eat, etc. I control what I can. But you are right, you might be seated next to someone who has a cough or cold. That was my worst fear. And yes, I was apprehensive when I flew. We make a hundred choices every day that impacts our health-what we put in our mouth, who we see, what we do. My transplant influences me but it doesn’t define me. I still make choices to live a full life-everyone has a different definition of what that is.

I did ask my transplant coordinator about air travel as I have a work reward trip that I need to attend outside the US - she told me to ‘go for it’. I will ask again closer to the trip and take into account their recommendation too.

I hope this helps. It is a personal choice. And it’s a tricky one.
