Life With PF: Lung Transplant

Are you thinking about lung transplantation for yourself or your loved one? Some patients living with pulmonary fibrosis may be eligible for a lung transplant, but it is a complex process that may not be right for everyone with PF.
Through the stories of three individuals who are lung transplant recipients or currently listed for transplant, discover how to best prepare for the physical and emotional experiences people with PF face as they undergo evaluation, transplantation, and recovery.
Dr. Marie Budev, Medical Director of Lung Transplantation at the Cleveland Clinic, recommends that patients remain positive, and stay as healthy and active as possible during the waiting period. The path and timing is different for each individual so it is important to remember that every day counts.
Learn more about the lung transplant journey in this informative video.
