Sd79 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 First of all, hello everyone, Due to what some doctors just told us, we are currently looking for a double lung transplant because of the deterioration of the condition of left lung after a recent right pneumonectomy for non small cell lung cancer (male patient under 40 years old, non smoker). Health insurance is not a problem and we are ready to move close to the lung transplant center as long as needed and also ready to apply for a clinical trial if it exists. So, please can somebody here give me names of praticians or lung transplantation centers in favor of this particular treatment so that our oncologist could refer us.

Tom Galli Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Sandrine, Recommending or endorsing specific health care providers is something we do not do on this forum. But, you can Google "US Hospitals Specialize Lung Transplant" and read the results. I'd start with websites that are not hospitals like, for example US News "Best Hospitals for Pulmonology" and Becker's Hospital Review. I hope this search approach gives you ideas to consider. Stay the course. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sd79 Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 Thanks Tom for your answer. Finally back to the usual Clinic following him. Pneumonia (symptoms began only a few days ago) and cancer in the remaining lung after recent pneumonectomy. These Doctors talk about a surgical resection. I must admit I worry a lot because it is in the left lung that has only 2 lobs. Sandrine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
