Sklif (Ep24) Hope for a healthy life: a lung transplant for a cystic fibrosis patient
Aleksey was born with cystic fibrosis. This disease has affected his whole body, but mostly his lungs. He needs to use an oxygen mask to breath. This prevents him from leading a normal and independent life as his peers do. At 26, he has to rely on his mother for help. To make matters worse, his disease has progressed to the point where he needs a lung transplant to survive.
However, it is difficult to find a suitable organ, so the operation has already been cancelled once. Now, Aleksey and his mother are hoping the second attempt at the surgery will be successful. It would give Aleksey a new lease of life and help him achieve his dream – to ride his brand-new bike.
