@chrissey Chrissey, that is so disheartening. I am so sorry for you and your husband. Have you tried going to a different transplant center? Rules can vary with different centers. When I was first diagnosed and became a transplant candidate the hospital I was using told me I might want to dual list because other regions could probably transplant me sooner. In investigating that I discovered that some had age restrictions, and some had BMI restrictions. My BMI was over 30 and some centers would not transplant patients with that BMI so I lost weight. My center did not have that restriction but I did not want that to be a problem if I needed to get a transplant from a center where it was a restriction.
I would definitely look into other centers. There is a great database of transplant centers that you could use to find transplant centers that are closest to you, and which have had good results. It's SRTR.org -- The Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients. There is also a business that helps people looking for transplant centers. They post a lot on Facebook for free but I presume they must charge for individual consultation. It's Compare Transplant Centers.
I hope you can find a solution to this. How old is your husband?
JK
