Pulmonary Hypertension
Anyone diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension after lung transplant? I just had a routine echocardiogram and my cardiologist said I have mild pulmonary hypertension, which he does not think needs to be treated at this point. Curious to know if this is common after transplant. I understand that it is common in end stage CF, so I most probably had it at that point, but supposedly a lung transplant would fix that. Any input would be appreciated. (Source: Cystic Fibrosis Transplants Forum)

Cystic Fibrosis University project
Hi everyone!
I'm from England and I'm 20. I lost my friend, Helen, to CF 2 years ago when she was 18 and another friend has recently had a lung transplant. I do some work for The Cystic Fibrosis Trust as a communications volunteer and I am doing my final year university project on The CF Trust charity. I am near to completing my degree in Public Relations and I am in the middle of the research stage of my year long project on Cystic Fibrosis.
If anybody has a spare 5 minutes, please would you fill out my short survey regarding Cystic Fibrosis and the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
Thanks for your time!! Any responses are great...

Interval Training proven safe and beneficial for people with severe CF disease
Conclusion
The present study showed that IT is an exercise training
method which is safe in patients with CF who are unable to
participate in SEP. IT is less time consuming than SEP (Standard Exercise Program'and
patients perceived IT as less strenuous compared to constant
workload. Compared to SEP, IT improved submaximal exercise
capacity to a greater extent than SEP, whereas responsiveness of
maximal exercise capacity was higher in the SEP. Overall this
seems to indicate a specific potential for positive peripheral
muscular adaptations in spite of minimal or diminishing potential
of pulmonary improvement. From a practica...

Post Lung Transplant Pets - Are Cats Okay?
Does anyone here, who's post-transplant, have a cat as a pet?
I've heard cats are okay as long as someone else cleans out the litter box, but I'd like to hear from somebody with real world experience.
My six year-old desperately wants a kitty, and I'd love to get her one. I just want to know if it's safe for me first.

If you're American and have had a transplant, please help with info!
Hi all from Canada :) my sister passed from CF when she was 21 and I was 17 in 1990. I'm now writing a book, a novel where the lead is helping her sister obtain a lung transplant. It takes place is the US, and I have a few questions.
Are all costs related to double lung transplants covered under basic medical insurance? If not, approximately what amount would need to be raised by the patient? The people in the story are not wealthy, so only basic health insurance is affordable...Please correct me if I'm wrong, but that would be be Medicare?
What hospital or hospitals are recognized as the best covered facilities for l...

What else could go wrong
Hello my fellow cfers. Im just going to jump right in, I'm 25 and I just finished my evaluation for transplant and found out I will be getting listed for both lung and liver. However, when I got a ct scan of my abdomen they saw some of the nodules on my liver do something called "washing out" which they said could be a sign of cancer. So about a week ago I had an MRI of my liver done and it is a small cancer. They said this wouldn't stop me from being listed but they want me to have a procedure to, the doctor I talked to, said "burn away the tumor". Im not really scared about the cancer part because I ...

How can lung transplants change in 10, 20 years?
The idea of having to get a transplant one day freaks me out, like when people say the success rate is 90% it doesn't seem all that great, cause what if I were that 10% and I die in the hospital?!
is there any way of knowing what the future holds for lung transplants, like 5, 10, 15, or even 20years?
Currently, how long can someone live on a pair of new lungs? Can someone who got a new pair at age 20 live as long as a normal person? (Source: Cystic Fibrosis Transplants Forum)

Ontario Trillium Drug Program
Hello,
Just wondering if there are any people from Ontario on the Trillium Drug program? I am on the transplant list and will have my surgery in Toronto. I have an identical twin brother who had a transplant over 4 years and I saw what he went through with the side effects of Cyclosporin. Luckily for him his employer had a drug plan and after 6 months he switched to Tacrolimus. I don't have a drug and Tac is very expensive. just if anybody is using trillium and how long does it usually take to get reimbursed.
