What do you advise if i'm just 16, and they say lung transplant is the only treatment. we just can't afford it, is this really the end of it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some options: If the transplantation center has determined that you are a good candidate, by screening you and scheduling a visit, and it is a procedure that you would like to have, the ISHLT may be able to assist @ ishlt.org There are several centers in the U.S. performing lung transplantation, including Philadelphia, and I would advise asking your transplant center to assist in seeking a second opinion.
