***URGENT*** My 55 year cousin is battling her second bout with BOOP. She was put on hospice about a week ago. Is this disease in the same category as Interstitial Lung Disease. Are patients with BOOP good candidate for heart/lung transplant? Is it too late to try to get her an appointment at Mayo?
