You are doing the right things. We can relate as to how scary this is as we have been/are going through it too.
Great advice to stop drinking. That is really really hard at a time when you might go to it but cool, cool. Good for you ! Both my sister and a friend stopped and were much happier for it. And you have extra incentive. I had a full liver transplant a year and a half ago. Cancer caught by accident, 70 tests by insurance co locally and then 15 more by Mayo in AZ. Made the list and despite blood type I was called to fly down to AZ in less than a month. Could not go to the hotel, had to go straight to Mayo from the airport. Recovery was no walk in the park but doable. Almost 2 months living in a hotel in AZ. Trips to Mayo every other day for testing. At the hotel 6 Mayo liver transplant patients. At least one woman in each pair (patient & caregiver). The gals would meet at the pool after dark when it was cooler and share what was going on and some wine. They still keep in touch (4 in CA , 2 in CO) via text and report card is 4 are doing great, 1 ok out of the 6. Hang in there. Stressful and hard but everything is doable and you can do it !! Prayers up to you !!!
