lung transplantation
Hello, My brother had a lung transplants for CF five years ago, and he had a chronic graft dysfunction for one year. He is on the waiting list for a new transplantation. Is there a lot of patients who have been transplanted twice (for the lung) ? Do you think he will wait for a long time on the waiting list? Is there a kind of priority for patients who never benefited of this surgery?

Antibiotics and dentist
I have CF and use cotrimoxazol as maintenance therapy. I needed a tooth extraction. The dentist wanted to give antibiotics but because I already take antibiotics he didn’t find that necessary. Does cotrimoxazol help when you need a tooth extraction? You cannot take two antibiotics at the same time, can you ?

Living in the city ? Or living in the country ? Or in between ?
Are certain air-conditions better than others for patients with CF? Dry air, the sea, the woods, humid air? We live in the center of the city and wonder if this is appropriate. I think that there is more air pollution than in the rest of the city. Can you say anything about where the air is cleaner and what is best for patients with CF ?
