Just found out my partner needs a lung transplant. i am diabetic but would like to find out if i can be a lung donor?

The transplant coordinator would be able to discuss. The typical lung transplant of whole lung is not from a living donor. There are criteria for acceptance of a donor organ and for listing to receive a donor lung The Transplant center may also have a family support group to help you through the process.
