Best advice for PF symptom management | My husband is faithful about going to rehab 5 days a week. He was being considered for a single transplant because of his age. Just turned 69 but has improved his FVC and walk test with his dedication When we received the call saying he was being listed they had changed the recommendation to a bi-lateral transplant because of his hard work So it’s based on his physiological age not his chronology age |
