What About A Full Lung Transplant?

I have emphysema and IPF. I understand that my IPF is late stage. And am on 50mg prednisone daily, since February. At 66, I am a 100% disabled veteran. Agent Orange exposure. On 8 - 12 L/M O2. Can’t afford the transplant. Any ideas? I do not qualify fo State help. Tim
