Hello Hello Hello I want to live close to Mayo so I can visit everyday with patients, I had a Bi-lateral lung transplantAugust 21 2015 it doesnt feel like it has been that long getting close to being an old timer. In 5 months I will be a 5 year survivor my diagnosis was pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema. I was 62 years old when diagnosed and 63 when transplanted, I was hospitalized for the reason my disease progressed very quickly and my oxygen requirements could no longer be met at home 30 days after being admitted a donor was found my first grand daughter was born 4 days after transplant , life is grand , I love to share my experiences ,in fact I told my story at the North Dakota Respirtory Therapist convention 235 of them and me , so please contact me to share your adventure or if you questions I will be glad to talk with you
