Never had a lung collapse, have had a chest tube (from VATS procedure) and they hurt, I hope you feel better soon in that regards! I also just wanted to let you know I will be thinking of you as you get your evaluation for transplant. I can't imagine how frightened you must be! Hang in there,

Hang in there Carly! We're all thinking of you for sure. Glad you're getting moved to a CF center, hope you hear good things and get some answers soon. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
