Please see answer: It depends on the severity of your illness and rate of decline, and a number of other considerations to assess if you are a suitable candidate for transplantation. Have you been screened for immunodeficiency, Ciliary disease and CF? Addressing the infections and underlying cause of the disease is part of the management.
