I also would like to see more comments about lung transplants. My husband is going to the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville for an interview regarding a possible lung transplant. He has pulmonary fibrosis. He was diagnosed in 2013 and was told at that time he would not qualify for a transplant because of his age. He is now 75. However, I discovered through the website called InSpire, that the Mayo as well as other hospitals have expanded the age requirements. I contacted the lung transplant dept directly, and he is at least getting a preliminary interview next week. I know that there are a lot of other things that determines whether or not you qualify for a transplant. We actually live in Georgia too, but we have fallen in love with the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. That is an amazing place. Good luck to you and your husband. I am determined not to give up.
