It was a part of my evaluation for them to ask if I have ever used drugs or alcohol or if I was at the moment. It had never been an issue for me so I don't know what they would have done had I said yes. I would say ask the doctors about transplant....it is not they who decide if you can have a transplant or not....it's like UNOS or the OPO. Your doctors can review your case and send it to them and make suggestions, but it ultimately the other groups who say yes or no.
I was kind of a unique case....I needed double lung and liver. The doctors said that they would do it but it still had to be sent to the hospital board and then to UNOS.
Go ahead and try for it. It is your life and you have to take control.
