Thanks for your reply the information is very helpful and interesting. We live in SC and so there will be travel involved with these visits. My husband is not O positive but rather AB blood type so I hope that helps him. Did they wait to put you on a list since you mentioned your children and mother were a responsibility for you first to take care of. This is all so very new that any information is helpful. Thanks so much!

@jbilton, yes they did wait to put me on the list until I could put my daughter in an adult family home for specials needs adults my son can live on his own with help from an aid and my mom had help from an aid when I had my transplant it actually is easier for any other blood type for transplant but it is still hard to get a heart transplant due to the shortage of organ donors for transplantation but I always had faith in mayo and they will tell you like it is they will be honest with you on your tests and on your waiting for transplant if you are a candidate trust Mayo, can't tell you how long your wait would be as everyone is different when waiting for a transplant due to how severely I'll you are I was stable from 2005 to 2009with my cardoimyopathy with ridgety
