    My daughter is a pediatric bone marrow transfer physician in Pittsburgh so we go there a few times a year. What hospital did you use for the procedure? How many times did you have it done and what kind of follow-up is needed? Have you seen improvement in your PFT and six-minute walk results? Thanks for posting?

    Also, you qualify if you are on CellCept. I am, and just received my booster 4 days ago. Be alerted to the fact that auto-immune medications will reduce the efficacy of the vaccines, so consult with your pulmonologist. I am off CellCept for 7 days after the injection. I was also advise to pause 3 days before, though I don’t find that recommendation in the literature.
