I was just looking around for bloggers like me...Hi! I was just looking around for bloggers like me and came across yours. My name is Katrina and I have CF & CFRD and am waiting for a double-lung transplant too. I read that recent stats you posted about people with CF on the national waiting list, and realize I'm one of the few who are over 34 on the list. I'm 39 right now, and will be 40 in June. Very interesting. I had looked on the UNOS database before, but I didn't see those stats. Thanks for sharing & wish you the best!Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07527702952615867994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836248337575892827.post-38727792335572909542010-03-22T16:43:01.726-04:002010-03-22T16:43:01.726-04:00Yep, thanks for commenting, Lucy :) Since the new ...Yep, thanks for commenting, Lucy :) Since the new lungs have someone else's cells and DNA, they won't ever contain the flawed cell structure that is present in CF. A lot of people don't realize, CF is not a lung disease, it's a cell disease. Our cells have defective sodium chloride (salt) ion regulation- which creates all of the problems!! No bad cells, no disease. :)Beth Petershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14120777723370461529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836248337575892827.post-10153025477335753752010-03-22T15:24:42.360-04:002010-03-22T15:24:42.360-04:00Whaaaaaat?
