When I went through the process almost two years ago for transplant consideration it was quite an ordeal. One of the most stressful moments in my life that I have ever experienced. I remember waiting to hear if I was approved. It truly is the starting point. There are so many tests and one thing could prevent it all from happening. I remember sitting in my clinic and receiving the news I had been approved! The emotions that went through my mind were unexplainable. PHEW! That was probably number one that I exhaled. Now onto the next step…….

If you are interested in spending almost 20 minutes and watching a video that explains more of the process and understanding how much goes into qualifying, my primary physician was interviewed by the CF Foundation. I am so lucky to have him, in my eyes he is the best! Actually, I feel so lucky to have my entire health team. They are honestly a team and I can’t express how grateful I am to be in their care.
