@tomrennie , Tom, low sodium levels,tremors, brain fog, blood transfusions were needed, nausea, a lot of other results from various exams. We were hoping to try the route of halting the cirrhosis progression and with diet,lifstyle changes,exercise,
etc, not having to go the transplant route. The head liver doc sent us up to Banner transplant ctr in phnx for consult with transplant specialist, then back, telehealth visits etc.In the mean time she became ill and was put back into Banner here. Last week her main doc said he would advise Mayo for the op.soon Said the are not doing anything at Banner phnx hence Mayo was a highly reccomended!
