Bobby Donovan’s double lung transplant journey

Twenty-two-year-old Bobby Donovan was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) at 4 months old. He was relatively healthy for someone with CF. However, in November of 2008 his health began to deteriorate. Every three months or so, he was admitted to Boston Children’s Hospital for two to four weeks at a time. In April of 2014, with his lungs not expected to last the year, Bobby received the double lung transplant, which not only saved, but transformed his life. One year following surgery, he shares his remarkable story.
