Prednisone and transplant

[Guest guest]

After reading all of the posts about the horrors of prednison, my

husband had decided he wanted nothing to do with it. His pulmonary

Dr., however, says that when the transplant team has him come up to

Cleveland in a few weeks to see if he qualifies, they will probably

expect him to complete a trial series of medication before being

listed. Dr. Graham thinks it will probably be prednisone and something

else. Those of you that have already had appointments with tx Drs., is

this typical? We were really hoping to avoid the prednisone, but if

that's what they want, Hubby is willing to do anything for the

transplant.
