Q: Lobectomy Vs Lung Transplant?
asked by: teehee on December 20th, 2005

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.
