Thank you. I started watching some u-tube videos after my RT advised I probably need a LT. I then asked my MD if there was a Transplant unit, I insisted on a referral. That doctor at Kaiser (different location) was the best. She took an hour going through all my old scans and showed me how I progressed throughout and was disappointed I did not have a biopsy or referred sooner. If I had waited any longer I would not be here as she gave me 1 year to live. I was up to 15 liters of o2, using a w/c and wrote out my last wishes and left all in order for my family. Our Lord is Great and right now that you can advocate for yourself ask to see a transplant specialist and let them tell you yes or no. All transplant patients have other issues we face, but nothing compares to what I have gained. I am very grateful and blessed to be involved in my donors family life as we connected and visit each other🙏🙏❤️❤️
