The cost (as of the Summer of 2018) is about 15,000 - 18,000 euros per lung, depending on the complexity. You'll need to wait 6 weeks between surgeries so consider the added expense of staying in the area between surgeries or making land travel arrangements to get back to the UK. No planes - there is a risk of lung collapse if you try to fly too soon.
