Anyone waiting for liver transplant and diagnosed with liver cancer?
Good Day All,
I am wondering if anyone is in a similar situation. I have cirrhosis with good liver function. I was diagnosed with HCC and the tumor was treated with ablation. It has not recurred, at least not yet. It is my understanding that there is a 70% chance there will be more cancer due to a Cirrhotic liver. I am currently status 7 on the transplant list for a liver as I need to wait the required six months to gain MELD score exception points for the HCC. I feel very fortunate to have this time as this has been going on for the last three years now. However, I am worried about the cancer coming back and also unsure about a transplant if it does not come back. Just wondering if any of you are in or have been in a similar situation and have some encouragement. Thanks for listening.

@tomrennie we both went through the very extensive evaluation process. CT, MRI, ECG, labs, stress echo.
