Guest guest Posted January 18, 2002 Report Share Posted January 18, 2002 I have a few friends with Cf who have had transplants years ago now. They said they dont techinically have Cf anymore as the lungs were the major thing, but they take bags of anti-rejection drugs and still enzymes of course. They are all doing very well. One of them had a heart & double lung about 12 years ago. They keep themselves very fit and look after there health. They love it that there is no more physio needed at all. Gee that would be great.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2002 Report Share Posted January 19, 2002 Hey , is the guy that you are talking about with cf and had the double lung & heart transplant name Brad?? If so he was on the radio on Thursday for an hour talking about cf and how he is now - he is in his late 30's I think?? Anyway, I tried to get on the radio to talk to him and then I was going to put in my bit about how Centrelink does not recognise CF, but they wouldnt let me go on!!! damn!! I think Kristy is the one in Clinic on Monday, I am passing through at some stage as I am in desperate need of medications. I think Dr is on Holidays?? Oh well they will have to let me see someone else. Hope you are well Kirsty > I have a few friends with Cf who have had transplants years ago now.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2002 Report Share Posted January 19, 2002 Yes, this is what I've heard about transplants also. That after the transplants, CPT, etc. isn't done anymore. I've never understood this because I would think the thick mucus would still be produced- thus causing the cycle to begin again. transplants I have a few friends with Cf who have had transplants years ago now.
