30 Days of PF: Living Courageously with IPF
Eileen Koster’s IPF journey started in 2015. Asthma, allergies, and chronic cough made her job difficult as a flight attendant. A year later, doctors confirmed she had IPF.
In September 2020, she told her pulmonologist she wanted a transplant. With no relatives nearby, her friend Florence agreed to put her life on hold to help Eileen.
On March 24, 2021 she received a right lung. After six months, she was doing two-mile walks. Then she got to ride her bike. She credits all of this to the donor’s gift of a lung, the skilled medical staff, and a universe that provided her with friendships, love, and support. She now realizes how strong, courageous, and fearless she is.
Eileen you are mighty!
