@hellolance, My transplant was 14 years ago and I assure you that you are not being silly for wondering about the future and the "What if's". The uncertainty is a reality for patients like us. I'm happy that you have joined Connect because we understand what you are going thru. I hope that you will meet with your liver specialist soon and find out more about your options.
When I was referred to the liver department for a consult about liver transplant, my husband attended with me as an extra set of ears. I had compiled a list of questions and concerns in a notebook where I (or he) jotted down the answers). Have you thought about making a list of your questions to ask the doctor? I encourage you to begin one.
How can we help as you prepare for your appointment? Do you have any questions for us? When is the appointment?

Hi Rose,
What a amazing story - well done. Do you feel like your life has had much of a change with your circumstances if your happy to share.
I have met with the Liver Specialist and i have bee consulted - it brought much clarity and was easy to understand the next process. As i am one of intuition and positivity no matter the subject it most useful. I have been sober on and off for the last 25 years and understand having that track record will draw eye brows but i'm confident. My meldstrom percentage is 21% so that means my survival rate in New Zealand.
