Wow you have received beautiful advice.
Ditch the boyfriend. Make sure after your transplant when you are ready to rock the town in your new beautiful lungs all fixed up to the nines, you know where he will be and just walk on by and just , you fool!! On second thought, I would not want to see the poor soul ever again. There will be plenty of other nice and mature guys to meet and hopefully you will find that special man one day.
I hope you have the courage to walk away from a loser who cannot accept life for what it is all about. There are always ups and downs in life. If he will stick by you, then he is worth it.
I would not even want him if he changes his mind. He sounds like a big baby to me.
There will be a ton of other guys who will be there for you. My advice is to FOCUS on you and how you will stay strong for your new future. If you decide a transplant is for you no matter what the outcome will be, then go for it.
There are no guarantees in life. I had ten good years with my first set of lungs and now I am on my second set. I am doing amazingnly well and looking better than ever and feeling oh so great!!
We are here for you
