 - A MUST for every transplant patinet and their families!This comprehensive guide leads the lung trasnplant patient through the transplant process and addresses every questions from pre transplant evaluation through post transplant recovery and pulmonary rehabilitaion. Included are quotes from transplant recipients in which they share their experience regarding a particular part of the transplant process which makes me feel like I am not in this alone. I referred to this guide every step of my transplant journey and have recommended it to hundreds of transplant patients. This book is the definative guide for all my transplant questions. I wouldn't be without it. Tom Archer President Second Wind Lung Transplant Association, Inc Rating: - Lung Transplant HandbookThere is nothing easy about this process, but this handbook takes some of the fear out of it and offers valuable resources for assistance. Rating: - Great Resource for Lung Transplant PatientsI had a lung transplant in March 2003 at UW Madison. I found this to be the best resource in print. It is a sort of enyclopedia covering all aspects of lung transplantation: medications, complications, surgical aspects, etc. It covers technical material, but is easy to read and is written for lay persons. I would highly recommend reading it before you have a transplant in order to understand what you're really getting into. I constantly referred to it when I was recovering, and it answered many of my questions, or clarified things my doctors/nurses had said. The one major drawback to this book is that there is no index and it covers far too briefly the emotional aspects of having a lung transplant. However, I still have no hesitation recommending this excellent resource, and I am glad that I had it next to me on my journey of recovery. |
