If you don’t mind me asking, I have a brother in law that is in need of a liver transplant due to HCC (cancer) and hepatitis B. Were you really sick prior to transplant? He’s tired all the time and can not walk very far and doesn’t eat much. How long was your wait?

@oooanooo, Welcome to Connect. Before my own liver and kidney transplant, I had the tiredness/fatigue, couldn't walk far, no appetite, etc. These are some of the symptoms that can occur with liver disease and advanced cirrhosis.
Here is some information about liver disease if this is new to you.

@oooanooo - Where is your brother-in-law in his current need/journey to a possible liver transplant? Has he been treated for the HCC and Hep B?

@katebw Do you have any information about Hep B before liver transplant?
