looking at lung transplant

We sent his recent X rays to some doctors in Taiwan and China. The doctors from Taiwan do not recommend lungs transplant for my FIL, due to old age, his high blood pressure and diabetes. We haven't heard from China, my brother in law might be flying over this few weeks to see what option we can get. The reason why go to China it's due to the high populations. The doctors over there have more experience and practise with lungs transplant thus higher success rate. We met with the lungs transplant doctor in Malaysia but at that point, my father in law is relatively well and risking his life to have lung transplant doesn't seem wise. We were also hoping to manage the IPF rather than going for surgery. Looking back, it would have been a better idea to put him in the waiting list then. This is one of the many mistakes we made.

This is a hard decision. I can only leave this decision to my in laws. My father in law is keen and is willing to take the risk. My mother in law, not so. At this point it is still early as looking for an appropriate lung would be the hardest part. Let see if we have any open doors. Time however is running out.
