The life of a Chicago man diagnosed with terminal lung cancer went from"zero to 100" after receiving a double lung transplant.
"My life went from zero to 100 because of Northwestern Medicine,” Khoury said. “You didn’t see this smile on my face for over a year, but now I can’t stop smiling. My medical team never gave up on me.”Transplantation is"extremely uncommon" in lung cancer patients, with only a few prior cases being reported. Although he had stage 4 cancer, doctors thought Khoury, a nonsmoker, was a good candidate because his cancer was confined to his chest, the release said.
