@kp5450121 Hi Karen. How are you doing today? I am sorry for the delay in getting back to you, but I have been battling the flu or some sort of bug for the past week. The good lung transplant place in Ca., is at UCSF Medical. They have exceptional long term survival rates of lung transplantees. I am still trying to connect with a man in Ca to find out exactly where he went for his. He was initially turned down by just about all hospitals to do his transplant because he would not change his lifestyle (heavy drinking) One place did agree to do it for him, and he is still doing good after 13 yrs. I do not know him personally: he is a brother to a friend of mine up in N.Y. Have you made any appointments since your last post?
