KATIE Price's mum Amy has issued a health update after undergoing a "life saving" lung transplant. <\/p>\n
In 2017 Amy was diagnosed with\u00a0idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis [IPF], a terminal lung disease with a life expectancy of three to five years. <\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The 71-year-old had the transplant a year ago but has admitted things are still "up and down". <\/p>\n
Amy said: "I'm not too bad. I'm a bit up and down because the weather has an impact on my breathing, it literally takes my breath away so when I go out at the moment I'm wearing a face mask because it's easier for me to breathe with that then just trying to go along."<\/p>\n
Speaking to the Daily Star, she added: "It's a slow process and it's taken a while. I've had quite a few setbacks but that's to be expected but I'm in the right direction.<\/p>\n
"The trouble is when you have a lung transplant it's so easy to sit because you still get a bit breathless but if I don't exercise, I won't move forward. I had a single lung transplant but it would cease up so I've got to exercise to get it working."<\/p>\n
