Family member w/ CF told that antibiotics are no longer working

[cfamilymember]

Hello, a very close family member of mine has CF. They were diagnosed late in life and have been able to control it, up until now. They are in the hospital and have just been told that the antibiotics they have been taking are no longer working, and there is nothing more to do.  I refuse to accept this news. Does anyone know if a lung transplant would be an option at this point?

So sorry your family is going through this. It's very scary...
To answer your questions, there would need to be alot more info about this situation before anyone could venture a guess. It depends on the PFT's and alot of other variables. You could do a google on CF lung transplant criteria and I'll bet you'll find some info.
But ultimately, the doctors would be helping to advise on this. I hope this person is attending an accredited CF center.
I'm hoping things start to look better for you all-
