I have about a week and a half to go and the employees here are so helpful! I've had tests done that I didn't know existed! They said my MELD score based on these labs is 15, and I'm so thankful each clinician I saw gave me contact information and have been able to answer all the questions I had so far. I have another week and a half to go, and will be glad to get out of a hotel and go home! (envision Dorothy on Wizard of Oz clicking her shoes saying there's no place like home)! LOL

@beckyy39 - I wonder why your testing at Mayo-Jax is taking so many more days than mine at Mayo-Phx? Maybe less appts per day?

@beckyy39 I'm glad it's going well so far. I think I started out with a MELD 18, or maybe it was lower and quickly increased due to malignant lesions. Since I went to Mass General and they are about 55 miles down the highway, my tests were done almost weekly. I remember thinking after each one that I was done and then they would tell me I needed more tests! It took quite a while that way and when they were all done it was a great relief.

@beckyy39, I want you to meet a new member, @brianna, who is in early stages of evaluation for liver transplant. I think you have the most up-to-date information available because you are in the process.
