When I think about my childhood with cystic
fibrosis, there’s a lot of memories that naturally
come to surface.
ANABEL
The first ten years of our lives, we did do
treatments, we did go into the hospital once or
twice, but primarily, my earliest memories
growing up were about cultural influences. My
mother, being Japanese, really set the, the
background for who I am as an individual, and
how much the Japanese culture was infused
into me.
ISABEL
My parents were so dedicated and supportive,
and they did everything that they had to do to
raise my sister and I well, but they also came
from cultures where you didn’t talk about your
feelings or you didn’t talk about what was inside
of your heart. We didn’t express our emotions
like that.
HATSUKO
Every hospitalization they experienced when
they were young, I felt like I did something
wrong. And it was very, very difficult.
ANABEL
One of the things my mother taught me was the
idea of Gaman, and Gaman is an Japanese
word that means persevere, strength within. By
the age of 11 we started to go in and out of the
hospital more frequently, where it did start to
disrupt school. It was not just a little vacation
anymore, it was fevers, it was shortness of
breath, chronic coughing, coughing up blood,
which is a very common symptom of cystic
fibrosis.
DR. FRANCIS COLLINS
Cystic fibrosis has a name that’s a little offputting, it’s a lot of syllables, a lot of people
aren’t quite sure what this disease really is.
Maybe they’ve heard of it, maybe they’re just
heard it called CF. We all have two copies of
each gene in our system, one from mom, one
from dad. Cystic fibrosis is caused by

misspellings in those genes. If you have two
copies, and one of them isn’t working, but the
other one is, you’re fine. But if you’ve inherited
a misspelled copy from your mother and
another from your father, so that both copies
are not working, then you will develop cystic
fibrosis. It is the most common, potentially fatal
genetic disease, in northern European
background individuals, but it occurs in others
as well, as we see in the case of Ana and Isa.
ANABEL
One of the main issues in cystic fibrosis is an
imbalance of salt and water in cells, and that
causes thick mucus. Thick mucus cases
progressive lung disease. And ultimately
respiratory failure.
ISABEL
There is no cure for cystic fibrosis at this point,
as your lungs become more damaged, the only
hope for survival is lung transplantation.
DR. FRANCIS COLLINS
Organ transplantation is a critical part of current
medical therapies for many conditions, CF
being one example. And right now we have this
terrible problem of a limitation in the numbers of
available organs for those who desperately
need them.
ANABEL
When you receive a gift as amazing as a
transplant, there is some sense of obligation to
give back. Nothing is possible if we don’t have
health. And I’ve learned that more myself from
personal experience than anything else. So
now that I am healthy, I do what I can.
ISABEL
We’re representing the thousands of other
people with CF, or people who need
transplants, that aren’t able to go to

ANABEL
In America, every day 19 people die because
there is a shortage of organs.
DR. HOWARD KOH
Advocacy is the engine of change, for any issue
in society, and particularly for public health. And
the beauty of advocacy and the power of

Yeah.
ISABEL
Being in the hospital really sort of sets in stone
my abnormality. None of my other friends went
into the hospital, so this was just my story and
Ana’s story and we were the only ones going in
and out.
ANABEL
I think that in terms of growing up with a twin
with cystic fibrosis, undoubtedly, it was
transformative. When we started to get sicker,
and we were in and out of the hospital several
times a year. We started to build our own
cocoon. We became our own confidantes, we
became our best friends, our teachers, our
personal therapists
ISABEL
Our peers became adult health care providers,
rather than our peers at school. And that
comfort level also made being in the hospital
not so scary.

I think Ana’s the one that started writing and
she just started to list things, list her medicines
and list her doctors. And then gradually we
started more of a diary format, we just started
writing about all the memories we had about
previous hospital stays.
HATSUKO
They were very, very special children, they had
great motivation. I just encouraged them,
whatever they were doing, that’s all I did.
REPORTER
Out of boredom, Anabel and Isabel Stenzel say
they started keeping a diary of their hospital
stays, titled “Life at Kaiser.”
ANABEL
“Life at Kaiser” was sharing with the world, what
the patient’s experience was from the other
side, from the internal side of being in the
hospital.

certain procedures learned from experience,

When we were little, we knew how bad CF
could get, and we thought that we were very
lucky cause we were twins, and we shared the

This idea of Stanford, first occurred to us when
we were about 14 years old. My parents said,
this is where they do heart lung transplants, and
we’re like wow, that’s like science fiction.
ANABEL
Stanford is really the heart of, of us in many
ways. We came here for college, and it opened
up a whole new door of life for us, in every way,
emotionally, medically, academically. Certainly
there were fears, going to college, but those
fears were minimized because we had each
other. Little did we know that leaving for college
is actually the most life saving, best thing that
we ever did.

Throughout our four years pretty much, we
were always a little bit outside of like the dorm

I think that you should follow your heart, and if

Isa, that she found someone and that there was
this person who was so loving, so
unconditionally accepting of our dynamic. We
all grew together.

At Stanford Hospital, once a month, there is a
support group for people who are waiting for
lung transplant and those who have received
lung transplant. It’s a really dynamic, engaging,
loving, open and tremendously hopeful
environment.
ISABEL
Welcome everybody, this is a very special
gathering of lung recipients, to be here to just
talk to each other and get to know each other
even more. I thought of this prayer flag project
to give to Japanese donor families. They’ve
never really been recognized, and I think it
would be meaningful to share with those
Japanese donor families how we feel about
being recipients.
MALE LUNG RECIPIENT
I received a heart, double lung transplant in
1997. It, the underlying cause of my transplant
was cystic fibrosis, genetic disease. I still have
cystic fibrosis it affects now my sinuses mostly,
my pancreas, but my lungs have returned, I’m
at 100 percent lung capacity.

ANABEL
As you can imagine, quickly we become very
close, because the journey of lung transplant is
a roller coaster ride, and it’s probably one of the
most pivotal, challenging, life changing,
existential experiences that any human being
can go through.
FEMALE LUNG RECIPIENT
I was very, I don't know if it was nervous, it was
just all of these really mixed emotions about,
you know, waiting for, for someone to pass
away and hoping that they were gonna give that
gift of life, and just praying for the family was
really, really important to, um, to us and our
family. If that person had not donated it could
have, you know, ended very, very badly.
MALE LUNG RECIPIENT
It’s a, it’s a very sober thing to realize someone
has lost their life, you know. But at the same
time, I, they didn’t lose their life because I got
my transplant, they would have lost their life
whether I got the transplant or whether the
lungs went in the ground.
ANABEL
Every breath we take from the minute we’re
born to the minute we die is about renewal. But
when you have sick lungs and then you have a
lung transplant, it’s a bigger level of renewal,
and it’s about becoming alive again.
MALE LUNG RECIPIENT 02
It is a completely different feeling to breathe
with the gift of these donated lungs than it was
to breath my entire life, because when I close
my eyes and I breathe in, I feel like I’m in a
sanctuary. You know. It’s just peace. And that’s
new for me. And that’s awesome. It’s awesome.
Even though I have to wear this mask for the
next couple of months, it doesn’t matter, it’s
awesome.

wrote me and he called me his sister. And just
to find out his name was very, I mean, I prayed
day in and day out that I will be able to express
my gratitude for what they’ve done for me and
my family.
ISABEL
Breathing to me means that my husband can
have me and he’s not a widow and breathing
means I’m still with my twin and with my family
Breathing means I can write a list of things I
want to do and actually do them. So that’s

I’m a patient who’s been having more issues
lately. I have my oxygen which I have to use 24
hours a day. These are my travel tanks, so
each one lasts about four hours for two liters.
ISABEL
When Anna Modlin was nine years old, the
gene for cystic fibrosis was discovered and I
was 19 at the time and I said I promise you that
by the time you’re 19, there’ll be a cure for CF,
but unfortunately, that, that didn’t happen yet.
And she’s 29 and she’s at the end of her life
with CF. There’s nothing more for her. There’s
no new medicine, there’s no cure there’s no
gene therapy yet. So, the only hope for her now
is transplant.
ANNA
That’s the hardest part, is that, no matter how
hard I try and no matter what I do, how
educated I am about the illness, it’s still gonna
win. What I’m lucky about is that transplant is
the option at the end, and when I was born, that
wasn’t an option. And when I first grasped that
reality, it made me, obviously, really sad,
because the end of, it means it’s the end. You
know, like before it, um, that would be it, there
wasn’t something else. But now it’s so hopeful
that there’s something on the other side. So I’ve
kind of shifted my focus that all of this is worth it
because I have to be strong to get through the
surgery and then live a life that I want to live.

Anna Modlin has become one of the most
important people in my life. We’ve travelled the
road of this ugly disease together and watched

cope with it. And for the first time, it was like a
curtain was lifted, and I saw the reality of my

ANABEL
I never really had much expectation that I would
live very long, or that my life would be so great.
So when I found myself in very advanced stage
CF I was really reflecting on what I had, and not
what I didn’t have. I didn’t sit in a place of
despair and lose hope. I think a lot of that had
to do with the fact that transplant was offered to
me. If I didn’t have transplant offered, then
there would be nothing to do but prepare for
one’s death. I was listed for a transplant in 1997
when I was 25 years old. At the time my lung
capacity was about 30 percent so I was
functioning on about a third of a normal lung.
ANABEL
And most importantly, my day to day
functioning was more impaired. For example,
my big event of the weekend would be going to
the market. I would go to the grocery store, get
my food for the week, come home and just, that
was it, I was exhausted, that’s pretty much all I
could do.

all kinds of tests on me to make sure that I’m
ready for surgery.
DR. NOREEN HENIG
The individual who’s the recipient has to come
in and be in good health and if you take their
temperature and they have a temperature of
100, transplant’s called off. You know, so
there’s lots of little things that can influence it.

DR. SHAF KESHAVJEE
Treating the lung in the donor is somewhat
cumbersome, it takes time, we don’t have that
much time, always, and there are a number of
issues that make it challenging, possible but
challenging. The standard way that we preserve
organs for transplantation is we cool them
down, by cooling an organ down, you slow
down the dying process, so instead of it dying
at 100 percent rate, it’s dying at five percent
rate. So you’re still rushing, but you’ve got
some time. That is what made transplantation
possible.

first thing I thought is wow, I’m alive.

Throughout my life, I’ve probably had over 800
x-rays taken of my chest. My x-ray would look

would look at the x-rays and give kind of a sad
sigh, and it wasn’t until later where I learned
black is air and white is lung damage.

the transplant scar which goes under the breast
bone and then these are the port a-cath scars
where we had our infusions. And then I don’t

I had some chest tubes as well.

Because I was born with a bowel obstruction I
had surgery at three days of age. In 1972, the

In Japan, if you need a transplant you have to
wait a very long time, 20 years for a kidney, six
years for a heart. Four years for a lung. This is
because there are so few Japanese organ
donors. In America, out of approximately
307,000,000 people. Nearly 28,500 organs
were transplanted in 2009. When you compare
that with Japan, which has a little less than half
of the population of America, only 193 organs
were transplanted in the same year. This
places Japan at the bottom of the list of
industrialized nations for transplant.

My father had a Hepatitis C virus, he was a

he was hospitalized and doctors told us if we do
the liver transplant, that’s probably the only way
to have him live longer than six months. I gave
a third of my liver to my father, so we decided
to go public, even before the operation. And the
operation was successful. So he’s now healthy.
Wherever he goes, I mean, people know that
he had a new liver, and he’s now very healthy.
And then I realized, if we can do organ
transplant operation from the brain dead
people, we don’t actually have to cut the body

it’s not enough.
ANDREW BYRNES
In early 2004, Isa went to the hospital at
Stanford and she just wasn’t getting any better.
This was something we had never experienced
before, this wasn’t the usual, get sick, go to the
hospital, get well, and leave. And so over the
ensuing days she was really unable to get up.
DR. NOREEN HENIG
It was incredibly touch and go and there was
really nothing we could do to make it better. It
was just always about hanging on.
ANDREW
The focus at that time was her oxygen
saturation, 100 percent is perfect, and then
obviously down from there, and that was sort of
the measure, because if her lungs were really,
really damaged, then even if she’s able to
breathe in, if she’s not absorbing it, it doesn’t
matter. I remember that there was one time
where the saturation levels were very bad. She
was so out of it, and sort of childlike in a certain
way and so the respiratory therapist and I told
her, oh, it’s, we didn’t tell her what the numbers
were, we said, oh, it’s really, oh yeah, you’re
doing great, you’re doing great. And it sort of
was that environment where you knew, you
knew that it was, that she was gonna die. And
you wanted her to, to feel as good as she could
feel and you wanted to tell her that it would be
fine.

commitment to her.
ANDREW
Isa started to sort of run in place, she was
laying down on her bed, but she was running in
place, and calling out names of people who had
passed away, and Ana and I were sort of
huddled in the corner holding each other and
crying, because it would seem to be that this
was going to be it. We were waiting and praying
and hoping for a transplant, which was not
likely.
DR. NOREEN HENIG
She was not the first person on the list, and I
was kind of told that and my heart sank, you
know, because it seemed to incredibly close
and yet it was so far.
ANDREW
We were preparing for a funeral, but hoping for
a miracle. In the mid afternoon of that day, I
went in, and I think Ana had gone in kind of with
me, and Isa started, I mean, of course since
she had CF, you know, the stuff, the junk and
mucus continues to build up in your lungs, and
so that needs to be cleared out, but if you, if
you’re basically just laying there, then you can’t
cough it out. So they were trying to suction her
and there was something that was not going
well with that, and so the doctors came in and
kind of ushered us out, ushered Ana and me
out.
ANDREW
And before we left, Ana told Isa, it’s okay, you
don’t have to fight anymore. And Ana and I got
into a big fight in the waiting room about that

Two months before he died he told his mother,
if anything ever happens to me, I want to be an

And so she knew that when he had his car

came, they knew what he wanted.
DR. BRUCE REITZ
When she actually went to the operating room,
there’s no doubt, she was just within 12 hours
or so of death. This probably more than any
case I can remember was one where we were
right on the edge of going either way.

In the morning at about seven or eight, they told
us that the lungs had arrived, and they were
gonna start the transplant and I went home to

had been transplanted. Now granted, she had
tons of tubes and she looked like she had been
hit by a truck, but she was pink, and she was
breathing. And she never would have been that

These are my favorite pictures. So at Stanford

to see your own lungs as a way of closure to

that.

When you see what happened to the twins you

DR. SHAF KESHAVJEE
Our lungs weren’t programmed to be taken out
of one person and put into another person. And
so when you do that the recipient will always
see those lungs as foreign. So your immune
system attacks those lungs and slowly, slowly
attacks them over time.
ANABEL
It was like suffocating, it was, my body couldn’t
adjust to it. When I lost 70 percent of my lung
capacity in eight months, I met Trent, who is
now my fiancé. He never knew that two months
into our relationship he’d be pushing me in a
wheelchair. It was that fast.
DR. DAVID WEILL
So then we made the decision to do a retransplant on her and a re-double lung
transplant.
ANABEL
On July 13th, 2007, I was called for my second
transplant. Majority of people don‘t get second
transplants. You can count them on your
fingers and toes, it’s pretty rare.
DR. BRUCE REITZ
The second one was more difficult for us, and I
think was probably more difficult for Ana as
well. Her will to live, her motivation was sky
high, and enabled her to be a second lung
transplant survivor, which is an elite group,
that’s for sure.
ISABEL
It seems unreal that Ana got a second
transplant, because she went downhill so
quickly, got her transplant again and went uphill
so quickly, and went on with her normal life. We

Hi.

Good to see you.

I think it’s always meaningful to come to
James’s hometown. When I’m here I feel his
presence. Obviously I don’t have his lungs
anymore, so there’s some mixed emotion,
there’s some, truthfully, some shame about
what happened, that I lost his lungs, but they
will always hold a special place in my heart.
KRISTIN
I know Ana feels guilt, I’ve seen it in her emails,
I know that. And I’ve told her over and over and
over, she shouldn’t feel that way, but, it’s
something she has internalized and you know, I
guess only she can work that out.

You gave me the best six years of my life, and I
will always remember that, even on my death
bed, whatever happens in the future that I’ve
lived so hard for James and I climbed
mountains, and I breathed at the top of a
mountain with his lungs, and I felt it go to my
feet when I took a deep breath, and I was
nonstop, I, I think I took two naps in six years.
BETH
I mean, look at what she’s accomplished with
James’s lungs when she had them. How could
we feel negative over the fact that it was a
biological thing, nothing that she had any
control over, just like she had no control over
the cystic fibrosis. We donated his organs with
no strings attached. There’s more out there
than we know, and James was her bridge to get
to where she is now. Thank you. And that’s
what God needed right then was for her to have

knew it was our great hope, but I didn’t know
that it was gonna come so soon.
ANNA
So what it means to be on the list, how they
figure out who gets a transplant, is you’re
divided up, not only by your blood type,
because the way that they match lungs is blood
type, as well as size, and then in terms of that,
then they also go according to your lung
allocation score, and your lung allocation score
is anywhere from zero to 100. But there’s a
certain window, which is called the transplant
window, which is where you are sick enough to
need a transplant, but healthy enough to
survive a transplant. So you’re a good bet,
that’s kind of what they want.
ANNA
So with my score of 37.7, blah, blah, blah,
that’s right in that window, it’s right in the sweet
spot where I’m just sick enough where I need it,
but I’m definitely not too sick where I’m not
gonna survive it statistically speaking. So that’s
where I am on the list. Sitting and waiting.
ROBIN
So, the idea that we’re gonna go into another
chapter, and there’s gonna be no more CF
lungs because that is the center of CF, that has
to do with all the treatments and the coughing
and, and that’s not gonna be there anymore,
that’s, that’s a huge, huge change.

change people. Make them start thinking about
what this issue is really about.

Stories can make people truly understand what
is going on in this small little segment of
society. So that there can be change.
[MUSIC]

breathe,

Change takes stories and change takes effort.
Before I was very apprehensive of being so

touch people’s lives.
