I say this with "kid gloves". I am confused as to why people choose centers that don't have a "good" wait time. It is really hard to see some of the CFers suffering out there for months and months with no end in sight and others get transplanted within a couple of months at the bigger centers. Why do some of the centers have such great wait times, like 3 months, and others are 18 months? Why would you choose a center that doesn't have a good window of time? I don't mean to hurt anyone. I am just sad because I have a close friend who has been waiting since the summer and continues to get very ill. She is going to a center that is not great on the wait time. She was going to a center that was equal distance and is one of the top in the country and opted to get listed somewhere else. I just think it is too important to consider how long you have to wait.
