@dogwood928, Duke Medical University in N.C. has an extremely good reputation for survival rates. I do know someone who had his there and he is going on year 8 survival now. He was in his early 60's when he had it done. If age is ever a setback at a place you choose, then keep in mind that the Mayo may take you on. I hope that you will continue to post here concerning your journey as many of us may be going the same route.

I went to the University of Ky. and had lung function tests, a bi-lateral chest x-ray and blood work. I had same tests there in 2016,and there was no change. Actually improvement in my lung function! Dr. Said I could breathe room air while inactive, maybe cooking, etc. He did not recommend a transplant, but I will go back in 6 months for a check. I went to my pulmonologist. Week later, and my lung function test showed improvement there, as well.
