I know that some of you have had lung transplant. My question is, how do you get the money to pay for it? we have been searching on the web the costs and it goes from 400,000 for single lung to 600,000 for double lung tranplant. How do you guys get the money to pay for the transplant? Who should i call? what should I do? I have two very young sons, I have many reasons to fight for my life. Please tell me what can I do. To get my life back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 , I am so sorry you have to go through this. Like you I have IPF, have 2 very young kids and am waiting for a double lung transplant. Please feel free to contact me on my email at tazluvzraz@... and we can talk. I might not have any answers but it is nice to have someone that is going through the same thing that will listen. Miranda LA / 29 on the 20th.
