kitchrmn, My fatigue came on gradually, and then it hit hard. I was thankful that breathing was automatic because didn't n=have to initiate that action. I was fortunate to have a wonderful assistant and a team teaching situation, so that I could manage to slip out of the classroom on some days when my role was not essential.
It is uncomfortable for me to say that I am happy that your score is rising, but I really am because I hope that you will be eligible for your transplant sooner.
Is your next appointment in 3 months? That seems to be the standard schedule for most liver patients that I have talked to. Do you have to travel far to go to your transplant center?

@kitchrmn @rosemarya when they discovered malignant lesions my oncologist actually said it was good news that sounded bad, because it would increase my MELD. A rising score can e a blessing.
