    You may want to check out Facebook group - Duke Lung Transplantees. My wife found that group to be extremely helpful. A lot of people stayed at Clairmont at Hillandale Apts across from rehab. you'll want to be close to the rehab center. We actually were blessed with a great deal on a rental...

    Life Insurance

    Grange Insurance has a graded life policy for members (so you would have to get car insurance or something with them, but it's worth it). It's 50k graded for 3 years. If you die before the policy matures at 3 years then you just get back your premiums you've paid. After 3 years, it's 50k. I...

    Smoking Zigs & CF

    Hey I think it’s great that you’re at least contemplating this. I can tell you, I wish I would have thought about it several years ago.

    Sinus/Lung Inflamation

    I may not have had as severe of inflammation but I have taken Spiriva for about 5 years and have felt like I can breathe better all-around ever since. It seems to help me be able to take deeper breaths and be able to clear that junk out. Might be worth checking with your doctor. I heard of a...
