Whoa

Patch jobs on lungs before transplant

I'm going to hope this didn't happen to me. Although I know that my lungs were too big, and needed trimmed, as it were.

Sobering stat from the article: barely 50% of lung tx patients make it to 5 years.
I'm almost there!

Amazing how a different author can take the same info and put an entirely different spin on it! Here's the article I read this morning ... http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-sci-lungs29-2009oct29,0,6019138.story

Check it out ... your article would freak me out! This one though, it makes it seem actually pretty freaking amazing and cool!!!! (IMHO)
