Hi @cromme50
Happy “25th” Anniversary!!!
How exciting .

At 17 I had my first liver transplant and as I was approaching my 20th anniversary my liver went through rejection. I thought it would last me forever but was grateful to find and have a second successful surgery. I am approaching 3 years in August but this time it’s for Liver and Kidney. I 100% agree that we have to treat our organs and bodies like a temple. It what’s keeping us alive and with our loved ones. I wish you many more healthy anniversaries to come.

Ginjah the second transplant was done immediately or you have to wait the common process, list according to MELD SCORE and then wait until you name is first on the list?

Hello Ginjah! Thank you for your kind wishes. I am intrigued by how it is that you went into rejection after 20 years. I did not think that was even possible, provided the level of immuno suppression is monitored. Would you mind sharing the circumstances? Thank you again!
