In the transplant program here in Toronto each wait-listed person is classified as either Status 1 or Status 2. I have been Status 1 up till now - which I believe means relatively stable and less urgent.
As a result of my last 6 minute walk test my status has been changed to a 2. Practically speaking that means if a lung becomes available that fits two candidates - a Status 1 and a Status 2 person - the Status 2 person gets it. So this comes under the category of good news bad news. Good news that I have a degree of advanced standing and bad news that I'm getting worse and need it!
