    prednisone pre-transplant

    I was not on it before tx except when I had some auto-immune issues and then I would take 40mg a day for 10 days. I do remember my docs worrying about side effects if I took it any longer than those few days each time. I am on it for life after transplant (5mg/day) though because it is part of...

    transplant questions

    I was in for 2 1/2 weeks because my chest tubes were needed longer. As Margaret said, it is different for everyone. Also, depending how close you live to your transplant center, you may have to stay in town before transplant while you wait and after until they are ok with you going back home. My...

    for those who have yet to decide on transplant

    I also want to pass on a piece of advise that was given to me by a fellow post-tx friend. If you decide to go for it, for you and anyone else, start walking after surgery as soon as they tell you it is safe. After the vent is out and they have you in your regular room, usually someone will come...

    for those who have yet to decide on transplant

    I will first say that Treble is correct on it coming down to if you want to live or not. However, I disagree with it being suicide if you say no. I had a few friends say no because of their own things. They didn't KILL themselves, they lived to the very last breath their original lungs had. I...

    Opinions/Advice needed

    Angel, If the father of the baby is a carrier, it would be a 50% chance that your baby would have cf. The baby would get a cf gene from you no matter what. If the father is not a carrier, the baby would not have cf but would be a carrier. Also, depending on what anti-rejection meds you are...
