Breathe In #75 - Receiving a Double Lung Transplant and Surviving Cancer

Breathe In: A Cystic Fibrosis Podcast

To honor Organ Donation Awareness Month, Marge Carfora, 36 with cystic fibrosis and 14 years post double lung transplant, joins the podcast as the first ever resident guest host! Marge will feature on all the podcasts airing in the month of April. This episode tells most of Marge's life story, from diagnosis right after birth, through college, a double lung transplant in a time before the Lung Allocation Score, marriage, surviving three different types of cancer - Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD), cervical cancer and breast cancer - and finally becoming a mother to twins! Marge talks about overcoming each obstacle, one at a time and using her attitude as the ultimate force driving her through each complication.
