Are you wondering about getting a second opinion on your potential transplant? Our blog post today talks about second opinions and why getting one might be worth your time. Here is the link: http://mayocl.in/2uv41kp.

Good morning all!
Today we have a new blog post about Transplant and Donation Facts and Myths. I know some of you have expressed your frustration about the misinformation and lack of participation related to organ donation from your friends on social media. This might be a post that you could share on your social media pages to clear up some of those myths that are floating around.
Have a beautiful day!

@keggebraaten - I would very much like to read this blog but when I click on the link to any of the blogs it says, "Oops the page you are looking for can not be found."

@lcamino, Try this link. http://mayocl.in/2tE7kWF
There seems to be a glitch currently with the link. I have reported it already.

Lynne, Have you ever looked at the Transplant Pages section of Connect? If you click on DISCUSS top left of this page you will see a drop down menu that gives you 3 choices: Discuss is this forum, and Pages contain up-to-date information by the Mayo staff on a variety of discussion related topics. There is also opportunity for members to reply.
Lots of good stuff there!
Rosemary

@lcamino, Oops, from me, too. I don't think that I sent the correct link. SO, you might need to do it the manual way that I described a few minutes ago: Discuss,- drop down menu:- Pages: - scroll to the Transplant pages. Hope it gets you there:-)

@rosemarya - Well I have seen some of those articles before but did not realize you could comment or follow them. I found an article about you with a beautiful picture! More there than I have time to explore now but I did follow something about preparing for a transplant. It does not look active at this time but we will see.

@colleenyoung - well I do follow that page and get the posts in my daily Connect digest but I did not realize I could post things without needing a new sign in etc. which I did not want to bother with. Thanks for showing me the ropes!

Today's blog post shares the story of Terrance, a patient at Mayo Clinic's campus in Jacksonville who received a liver transplant in January 2017. Read about his road to transplant, and what he's up to now. Enjoy!
