Hey Annie,
I will definitely tell you its not all rainbows but I would do it all over again, including the setbacks in a snap.
Right now I am going through chronic rejection, and its not picnic but you take that chance. I did very well my first year, made great progress after tx and got to go back home two months after I got it. Last october I got a terrible case of acute rejection, A4, the worst it can be, and I never fully recovered. I got over the acute rejection but it turned into chronic, or bronchiolitis obliterans.
I also got a case of Aspefillus after transplant but they were able to treat it and I also got MAC, and now have been negative for it for a few months. I am doing well besides the rejection.
I was able to go to Australia for Christmas this last year and even though my pfts had dropped to about 59% I was still able to out snorkel my sister and parents. Being near transplant again I will take the risk I took the first time. And its great not having to cough even though Im getting short of breath more easily again Im not coughing and I definitely love that.
