Liver transplant - Let's support each other

You almost have to hope for a tumor. I had similar issue with my MELD score not going over twelve for years. But the encephalopathy was really bad. I finally got a tumor and after a sixth month waiting period (mandatory) I got my exception points. Three days later, had a transplant.

That’s one thing I was pondering. I’m like the dead walking but my MELD stays the same! It’s insane. You said it’s mandatory to wait 6 months after getting a tumor? Is that when it is diagnosed by scans or biopsy or what?
Thank you, Karen
