[Guest guest]

I attended the Seminar at UCLA on Dec 1st. The chief of staff of their lung transplant department said they the age limit for transplants has been raised to 72. In fact there was a speaker there who was transplanted at age 71 and was doing well.jaime wrote: Lana Hall was in ger early 20's when diagnosed with IPF and only had 22 % lung capacity at the time of her diagnosis. she has since had a double transplant and is back in college now.

Wow, that is good news. I live in Northern California and am 57 years old so was thinking my chance at getting a transplant was running out fast, but if I can still have one at 72, I may still make it.
