I was liver transplant number 199 in 1989. 30+ years ago at Mayo Rochester. Back then it was considered experimental.

@vjase, Welcome to Connect. I am honored to meet you, a pioneer in the world of transplantation. I bet you have seen and experienced many changes and advancements throughout your transplant life.
I would like to say thank you, for your part in being a patient and for blazing the trail for all of us who are able to follow in your footsteps.

vjase, What advice would you offer to a patient who is just beginning their own transplant journey?
