My mom has ibl lung disease and doesn't have much longer. if blood is compatible, can i donate a lung?

Hard to say: Blood group compatibility is only one factor that is important. Tissue typing brings out a different list of areas where you may or may not be compatible as a donor.You could discuss it with her treatment team.

My mom has chronic upper left abdomen, upper back pain & ribcage pain. She had nausea for a while but it stopped. She saw a small amount of blood in her stool twice. Does this point to lung, colon or pancreas cancer? Can a benign cause explain this?
