Liver transplant - Let's support each other

Good Morning, bwebster93. I am extending a virtual handshake across the miles to welcome you to Connect. I am a liver/kidney (2009) recipient of a deceased donor. While I understand what your dad is experiencing now, I do not know the answer to that question.
However, I do want to link you to the Mayo Connect Transplant Pages where you can access the Living Donor and Recipient Toolkits. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/page/transplant/
Let me know what I can do to help you along the way. I am happy to share what I have experienced, as well as locate the information that you might need.
Not all transplant centers offer living organ transplants. Is your dad being seen at a transplant center? Do they offer living donation?

Hello Rosemary. I'm fairly new to Connect. I want to thank you for being a mentor for transplants. Your insight and willingness to share is extremely beneficial to those of us heading to transplant. I appreciate you providing the pages for Living Donor and Recipient Toolkits. Great information. Again, thank you for your time and expertise. I'm sure I will be coming to you quite often in the very near future.

Hello! Thank you for the response and the offer for help, both are greatly appreciated. We thought the center he was at offered living donation as an option but we just found out they make you go through a waiting list first. So we’re trying to redirect our game plan and figure out what’s next.
