TWO Scottish cousins who both received heart transplants at the same age have spoken of a new lease of life after their procedures.
Wilson, 46, an area director for a bank in Glasgow, was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy when he was just 14 and believed he would die a young man because of his early diagnosis. “I always thought positively of organ donation and wanted to be an organ donor, but wasn’t sure if my organs would be particularly useful.
Since the procedure, she has quit her former role with the housing department of a local authority and has started studying for a role in social work. “As a recipient I have a huge appreciation for my heart that someone has decided to give me. It’s more than donating an organ, it’s giving someone their life back, it’s a whole life that impacts your family and friends, it gives people a future.
At the same time, the team at NHS Golden Jubilee’s Scottish National Advanced Heart Failure Service is celebrating completing 500 transplants over the past 30 years, with a record 40 procedures successfully carried out in the past 12 months.
