Pulmonary Fibrosis News Community Forums Healthcare Questions What happens when a transplant is not an option?

  • What happens when a transplant is not an option?

    I was fortunate enough to receive a bilateral lung transplant on July 10, 2021. It is the reason I am here today. 

    Not everyone will be eligible to receive a lung transplant. The reasons they may not be eligible include age, recent cancer treatment, other comorbidities, or general health. 

    If their pulmonary fibrosis is advanced, then hospice may be their only choice. 

    One of our forum members recently asked why no one talks about hospice. Can we talk about hospice? Even as a post-transplant patient, I recognize that it may be a future option for me.
