Transplantation on the UK
Hi
Still under a year after my formal ipf diagnosis and I’m in the UK. Transplant has not been mentioned to me by my doctors even in passing so I’m just wondering if it’s something that is even done in the UK, is anyone here from the UK and knows anything about it ?
Also could anyone tell me or point me in the direction of information on transplants and they affect your life , survival , side fee etc.?
Thanks

Yes, transplants are done in the UK. Start your search by look at the NHS site

A lung transplant is a treatment option for some patients with end-stage respiratory failure who have failed to respond to other medical treatments.
