@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.

Here is a Connect discussion with members who have experience with liver cancer HCC
- Anyone waiting for liver transplant and diagnosed with liver cancer?

@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?

@rosemarya I did not have hep b prior to my liver transplant 2 years ago but I did receive a hep b positive liver. I now take entecavir every day given this and will the rest of my life. Given that I take this and my viral load is tested every 3 months I can’t transmit it to anyone and I feel very well.
