A few have been done, but the success rate is pretty low. Within the UK, it cant be done without getting permission as it has not been granted as a valid procedure here. <br /><br />To get permission, you have to have all kinds of people agree to it. Within the team of medical staff who specalise with tracheal issue, they all know me and they know of my issue. However, it goes towards the whole working for the grater good. They dont want to risk putting me forward for such surgery, partly in relation to the low success rate, but also because I have so many medical complications and dont react in the usual way, that the chances are, I will have issues with the surgery. If that were to happen, it could greatly slow down the process of the research, delaying things by years. There are many other people who this surgery can help and so it is not fair to risk slowing things down for them.<br /><br />Its all kinda complex, but I will probobaly do an update on that in a few days.Bitter_Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04575126047702158106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652993880806216821.post-74351346324709051192012-10-03T20:26:10.391+01:002012-10-03T20:26:10.391+01:00Hi KIm, hope you enjoyed the evening with your nie...Hi KIm, hope you enjoyed the evening with your niece.<br />Is a trachea transplant something that has been done, successfully, before? and if so, is it just a matter of waiting and finding a match? . . . This must be so frustrating for you. Although you do sound a bit brighter than last week.<br />I hope you sleep well tonight and have renewed energy tomorrow, with love xbugerlugs63https://www.blogger.com/profile/08598249255143939365noreply@blogger.com
