Danny Chats Episode 23 features special guest Rachel McGrorry and we are talking all things Lung Transplant.
Rachels medical story starts when she was just 4 years old and she was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
The doctors did not think this would be an issue for Rachels organs but in 2011 Rachel got pneumonia and from then on she started to develop problems with her lungs and the doctors started to do more testing.
After having a lung biopsy it was evident that Rachel would need a lung transplant.
Luckily for Rachel she wasn't on the transplant list for very long before she got the transplant she needed.
This transplant changed Rachels life, it meant she could leave the oxygen tanks behind and she had a new freedom in life again.
I think this is an incredible story and the fact the doctors are able to perform such an operation still amazes me.
