@funk8nguy, Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am happy that you have joined this discussion about lung transplants. I am even happier that you shared your positive message. I thought I was a transplant veteran, (transplanted in 2009 - liver and kidney). It is evident that you are taking good care of you.
funk8nguy, Would you tell us a little about yourself and lung transplant? What is a single vs a double transplant?

The difference between a single lung transplant vs. a double lung transplant is how is sounds, I had pulmonary fibrosis that was caused by having chemotherapy and radiation. I received a single lung because I could get along with one lung and the person that lost their life could help two people with lung issues, and others. I’m sure there are many reasons transplant centers choose double Vs single transplants but don’t ask me,lol.
