I believe when it is our time ............ Wont matter how much money or insurance we have

What would I do ....... make sure I didnt miss any of the small things in life nor forget to let the people I care about know exactly how much I care about them ... then live what I had left to live

A lung transplant????

My first questions would be what is the likelihood of the success of such a proceedure on ME? My second question would be what are the difficulties that are likely and what are all the details????

You ask a very very complex question in such simple terms. I find your phrasing to be quite simplistic and extremely foolish. Organ transplantation is a complex issue under the BEST of circumstances. If you don't understand and embrace the normal complications then you can't possibly comprehend the potential complications.

I have no insurance. So I don't go for any medical treatment unless it's immediately crucial. If, in the course of an exam for an emergency visit, it was discovered that I had a terminal/transplant need...I'd be screwed...LOL

Early 90's??? What doctor in his right mind would recommend them for a lung transplant???? The procedure alone is likely to accelerate their death.

If it were likely to save my life, than I'd do it. I don't have any medical insurance at the moment either, so I'd go in debt. Debt is not the end of the world; at least I'd be alive to avoid the creditors.

If it were unlikely to save me, only keep me alive for a few more years, or keep me alive with a extremely diminished quality of life than I would say Carpe Diem. All my money would go to having a good time on my way out.

Are you in your 90's????? If not, why did you even mention such an age???

You are fishing for answers that you want to hear instead of being honest with us and with yourself. I have no answers for you and I do not trust you to give me complete inforation concerning your condition. Honesty with yourself and with your doctors is the FIRST thing to seek out. You have failed to be honest in this thread and this will be my last response for that reason.

muttling maybe u ought to look into the facts and maybe just maybe see if u might have it (sarcoid that is)

no i am 57 and i will be most likely put ona waiting list

my lungs a scarred and that is from sarcoidosis and i highly recommend people find out about it especially the females because it affects them at a higher ratio than the male

i first had the case come to light in 96 and it went dormant and now has come back

i am taking prednisone which really depletes the immune system but helps with the breathing

I'd research as much as I could to figure out how to make the organs I currently have keep working until the transplants arrive.

I'd probably renew my peace with death, too, as even if you're not going to die, it can reduce stress. (Although there have been a lot of studies that suggest people who make peace are less likely to survive than those who try to fight it out with certain conditions; cancer comes to mind.)

I can't advise on finances. The only thing I can think of would be to research loan options and hospital policies on finicial assistance.

A similiar thing is happening to a dear friend. His Doctor also told him he had to wait. He got a second opinion and that doctor got him moved to the top of the list. He didnt have insurance either so that doctor had him declared disabled. He got disability from social security then medicare agreed to pay for the operation when it became available to him.

I hope that helps you.

Muttling, he is saying his PARENTS are in THEIR 90s and asking if he should tell them about his condition.
