I was surprised by the tumor. I should know the results next week. What’s hard on me is I don’t have any family in the U.S.

@jacinta, I am thinking about you this week. I hope that you get some answers and a treatment plan that will work for you.
It must be hard for you to go thru this with your family at a distance. My mom was in stages of dimentia when I was progressing with liver failure. So, even though she was 'here' and just 120 miles away, she was not able to be with me. That was extremely hard for me because I couldn't be with her and she couldn't be with me. We needed each other. So, in a tiny way, I have some idea of what you are feeling.

Is someone with you as a second set of ears and who you can talk to?
Jacinta, Have you been evaluated for transplant yet? How can we help you?

Hi,
I just joined this support group and read your message. Just wanted to say I am wishing you the best, and I hope all goes well for you. Hope you have enough support here tin the US o get through whatever you need to get through. I am also waiting for liver transplant, I think worry must be a very normal response. But Mayo people really seem to know how to help us deal with whatever comes up.
