Lobectomy Vs Lung Transplant? Posted: 12-20-05 13:20pm
I did a search and it appears that very
few people have had a lobectomy - is it
not common? For those of you who have had
one, what research did you do or have
available that helped you make your
decision? Are you glad you had the
lobectomy? Is there anyone with cf who
decided not to have it? For those of you
who have had transplants was a lobectomy
an option first? My sil and husband are
having to make a decision about a
lobectomy for their 6 year old daughter
with cfrd and any input would be
appreciated.

Hi, it must be very stressful for the
parents of your niece and a very hard
decision to make if their little girl
should have a lobectomy or not. Our son
who has cf was extremely ill when he was a
baby and we wanted all the help for him.
Myself personally I would want the
lobectomy, remember we are lucky in this
country to have these treatments available
to us. You sound like you are a great
support for them and very close.
