Hi Susan, I also have cirrhosis/HCC. I’m 66 and pre transplant, waiting for “the call”.
The eligibility criteria T2 it means 2 or 3 tumors smaller then 3cms or 1 no bigger then 5cms.
Also the limit for your AFP is up to 1000.
You have to wait 6 months after have been approved by your Center to be able to get the exceptions points. You can find a lot info @ Optn.org
Good luck in your journey!!!

@desouza, Is this the information link that you intended to send? https://optn.transplant.hrsa.gov/

You are absolutely correct. The Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network the top resource for transplant information and policies.

Welcome to Mayo Connect and thank you for sharing from your own experience. I am going to grab your closing message to @parrot53 and say to you, "Good luck in your journey!"

Please know that on Connect, others have walked or are currently walking that journey. Waiting can be a long and lonely time. On Connect, you are never alone.
Have you already had to wait 6 months to meet the criteria and points that you have mentioned? Are on the active waiting list?
