My son needs a transplant and so far he's been turned down by 3 transplant centers (Vanderbilt University, Mayo Clinic, and the University of Alabama). He was turned down due to his esophagus not working as it should. I am reaching out to everyone and doing everything I can as his mother that wants to save her son. I am still trying to reach out to any and everyone. I am praying that one day my son will be able to tell his story of a successful transplant. If anyone knows anything I should do that I haven't done, please please let me know. Thank you!!

What a miracle! Just saw a KZfaq vlogger who also had Stage 4 lung cancer and is in and out of the hospital with excruciating pain and sadly the cancer had spread to her brain now. She is supposed to start some kind of experimental treatment soon but now seeing this wonder if a lung transplant like this would help and benefit her to live longer and get rid of some of her cancer and live to see her kids grow up. Her name is Jenny Apple.

This gives me hope. I was diagnosed with extreme emphysema 2 years ago and was referred to Oshner in New Orleans and they determined I was a good candidate for the double lung transplant. I'm now waiting to go back for a final interview and then they will make the decision if I get the transplant or not. I was told if I don't I have less than 5 yrs. So yes I'm scared. It's out of my hands now.

@@mrneonsplat Yes, the whole pre work up is daunting! I had mine done at the University Hospital in San Antonio. TX. My lung function was 17% before transplant. I knew one more lung infection would send me to Jesus so I knew I had two choices, live or die. Seeing a counselor is a great idea. I’m not going to say the days following surgery were easy. However, so very worth it. I’ve seen my son married, and now have my first grandchild with another on the way. I’ve taken up hiking. For a year post transplant I stood in the woods and cried (I’m a women) because I could actually walk in the woods. I could barely walk thru my house prior to transplant. Oh, my lung function (not SPO2 or oxygen level) ranges from 90% to 100% now. Beats 17%! Only you know if you’re ready!

@@hikerhobby1204 that is amazing! I've only had 1 collapsed lung and it kept me in the hospital for 26 days. The crazy part is that I felt absolutely no pain, I just woke up at lik e 4 one morning and couldn't catch my breath, so I got up and sat in my chair and as long as I didn't lay down I was fine(ish). I sat there for 4 days. I turn the big 50 this year and have 2 unmarried college sons and no grandchildren and I want to live to spoil at least 1. The hardest part is I've been single for over 4 years and doing this alone and since i moved to be closer to my lung doctor no friends either, but I keep a smile and positive attitude for my boys. Again congrats and hope I can follow in your footsteps.

Donor lungs are already exceedingly high demand, with limited supply. Including lung cancer patients, where a not insignificant risk of relapse or metastasis exists, will increase difficult ethical choices. But I guess that applies less in the USA where money speaks louder that medical outcomes.
