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.

@2ndlvrxplantmom, thank you for all your helpful posts. I'm sure @mwb37 is relieved and grateful to connect with another transplant mom, whose child has had 2 transplants.

thank you for this information I am worried for the time taking for a new liver. For my first transplant I was lucky because cancer showing out in the liver so Doctors decided to do the transplant immediately. Now as you mentioned the process for waiting for a second liver transplant is the same as the first. Then probably I do not have the chance I am 66 year old I wont loose my faith in God
