Guest guest Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Did this girl in the TV show have IPF before the transplant? I ask because I have been told that survival statistics are worse for IPF patients than for people with other lung conditions (like enphisema or cystic fibrosis). Does anybody know anything about this?Peggy escribió: Hi Rita, Howey Mandel at one point said " Can you believe two lungs transplanted two months ago ??"My Husband and I both said that is the out come I want for all my breathing family..
