Joaquin Gomes DaSilva has much to celebrate. On Oct. 11, his 61st birthday, he received a lung transplant at BWH. Three days later, surrounded by his family and doctors, he was able to blow out the candles on his birthday cake unassisted—an impossible task before his transplant. DaSilva is pictured with his wife, Sarah Marinho, who is holding the cake, additional family members and BWH’s Phillip Camp, MD, of Thoracic Surgery and BWH’s Lung Transplant Program.
