This last week two different people asked me the same question,  “After transplant will I be cured?” I will still have CF. I will still have to take enzymes with all my meals to help digest my food. I will still have CF related diabetes. My body will still have the CF defective gene but, my lungs will never have CF again. The reason people with CF always have double lung transplants is because the new lung can contract the disease from the old lung. Even though you can live with only one lung and some people with other chronic conditions will get single lung transplants, CF patients need to replace both lungs.
