@tinasue60, I don't think so. My husband was transplanted 1 Oct 2016, and they were very careful. Since your body is already fighting the intrusion of a cold, your immune system is compromised. A transplant needs an optimum playing field to start out.

@tinasue60, I found a Transplants Group Discussion that I would like to share with you. - "Can a cold or ear infection delay getting a transplant?"

I would encourage you to also speak to your own transplant team about your own individual circumstances.
