Description

Hear from people who have had a transplant as they discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly – things most people don’t want to talk about. Gain insight into the overall transplant experience and post-transplant care routine. We’ll explore the possible challenges that come along with this major surgery, including rejection, relocation, second transplants, dry runs, and the fact that transplant is not a cure for CF, but a treatment option. There will be time for questions.

Session Objectives
  1. People with CF who have had a transplant share their personal experiences and takeaways from the transplant journey.
  2. Learn about the changes to daily CF life and care management after transplant.
  3. Understand the new challenges transplant may present and the new beginnings it can offer.
