I hope someone can answer or help me to understand better. I just watched a show on transplants & the one man that needed lungs, had been a firefighter, & had an extremely hard time breathing. That I understand, that he needed the transplant. My doctor has said I needed a double lung transplant, & yet I am at 6lpm & can shop etc., so I am confused as there is such a difference in the two of us. I have gone for the pre-preliminary meeting at the transplant hospital, but needed my knee replacement before I could do any physio, plus I also have a lot of other health problems that they say will make it a difficult operation.So not sure where I stand, but have to call them after this operation in Oct.
Sorry for babbling, but simply put why the difference in breathing & needing a transplant??
