Thank you for sharing your experience. I am currently in the process of evaluation. I have not been added to the list yet. I'm really not feeling well and I'm just scared. I would love advice about how you kept going when things got so tough.

@brianna, I understand what you are going through. Where are you being evaluated? Because right now there is another member who is undergoing evaluation for a liver transplant in Jacksonville.
I was diagnosed with PSC (Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis) that made me nauseous, jaundices, fatigued, with ascites,..and eventually kidney failure. I transplanted both a liver and a kidney in 2009 when I was 60. Immediately adfter I came out of surgery, I felt like a new person. I could breathe, taste food, wanted to eat, rgained strength and have been blessed with good health ever since.
My secret to surviving was one day at a time, and a good team of doctors who directed me along the way (and I listened and did exactly as they said).
This might be too much information, however I was asked to write about my journey -
