Multiple Family Members with Liver Cr
Transplants | Last Active: Sep 30, 2017 | Replies (8)Comment receiving replies
My brother is in the hosp for several reasons. While there he was diagnosed with liver cir. They are sending him home on hospice expecting him to only make it two weeks. I am being asked it any of my doctors need a tissue sample after he passes. I haven’t made an appt with Mayo yet and I am in the midst of waiting for an appt in Nov with a specialist at Barnes. Does anyone know if I can pay to get a sample stored in case it is needed?

My brother died less than a week after diagnosis. Death cause is cir of liver. I was told by Wash U to ask for autopsy and for tissue from liver on slides to be stored for several years. One of the doctors is going to come to the local hosp to view them. No one knows cause but they agree it is very aggressive.

For your sake, as well as the sake of the rest of your family, I hope that you are able to learn something about this condition.

@senior999, I am sorry to hear about your dear brother's failing condition. I pray, "May the peace of your God surround both you and your brother."
I do not know anything about the question that you have asked about the tissue sample/storage? If I were you., I think I would begin by asking his doctor for information about that and how to proceed.
Hugs,
Rosemary
