Thanks for telling the story. Keep up the good work and encourage more to be donors. I too am grateful having had 2 new lungs June 11 2006. God Bless.

Your story is very inspiring. I too will soon be on the lung transplant list. My fibrosis seems to be getting worse over time. I hope to have the same outcome and a second chance at living a better life for myself and my family. Keep up the great work.

Keeping you in my thoughts for a great outcome. Hope to be on list in future too. The ability of medicine is amazing. Best of luck.

This video is amazing, with the patient, his family and the doctor elaborating this journey. I just got on the double lung transplant list here in Malaysia.
