Hello all..

I was wondering - to be a living donor can you specify that you want your lung to go only to a CF patient? I have no one in my family with CF but had a friend pass away from it years ago. I would like to look into donating a part of my lung to someone with CF.

can anyone advise me of anything?

thanks!

I don't know much about this because my daughter is still young and doesn't have any lung symptoms yet. But, I did want to say thank you from a parent of a child with CF!

You brought a tear to my eye. If more people could be as generous. Thank you. Have you tried google to get info. Look under live organ donation, HTH
