I had my first transplant 3 year ago, mostly with bile duct obstruction so they went inside duct 9 times then February 12-2022 doctor mentioned that my transplanted liver start Cirrosis again why they do not know so since that they keep me into medicine until this transplanted liver fail. How long I have to wait? I do not know meanwhile I keep the doctors direction and yes it my transplanted liver team was at Mayo Clinic in Arizona no complaint with them they are really good. I am living in Southern of California but my concern is do I have to still
follow rules in a waiting list? or second transplant is faster? well keep in touch with you and thank you

That is a lot that you and your family have gone through. Waiting in uncertainty is also very difficult. I believe that the the process for waiting for a second liver transplant is the same as the first. If you are a candidate for living donor and have a volunteer living donor who is a match, than you do not have to wait and the hospital can schedule it. The UNOS Liver Paired Donation is another option where you can schedule a transplant instead of waiting for a deceased donor. You can Google it.
