Nick Cordero's Lung CT Scan Is 'Not Pretty' But Transplant Isn't An Option

Nick Cordero's lungs have been severely damaged amid his battle against COVID-19. However, a lung transplant is not an option for the Broadway star.

On Friday (June 12), wife Amanda Kloots took to Instagram Story to admit that the procedure is "not on the table" for Cordero. In fact, he recently received a "second round of exosomes treatment into his system" and a new lung CT scan arrived with that, but the results were not pretty, according to the fitness trainer.

“That despite a not pretty CT scan on Nick's chest and lungs area, that the lungs are amazing and they can function, and we just keep thinking about the options that we have and getting him stronger,” she explained to followers. “He said that he has seen lungs recover and they do incredible things, so don't give up hope because you never know what the functionality of something is based off of a picture."

In late May, Cordero faced a setback with his health, but Kloots admitted that despite the new lung infection, he was slowly recovering. The star has been hospitalized since March and had his leg amputated due to complications from the respiratory virus. He was placed in a medically-induced coma after surgery and woke up just a couple of weeks ago. Later on, it was revealed that Cordero was starting stem cell treatment to help his recovery. Doctors also suggested that Kloots bid farewell to him.
