Liver transplant - Let's support each other

@rosemarya
Hello, I want to say the efficiency of the hospital was unreal. How nice and courteous every one are. The evolving of my appointments how the grew and adjusted. What was supposed to be 5 days grew to 11 days.

@jerrydrennan, Do you remember when you went thru your evaluation? Was there anything that surprised you, or that you wished you would have known ahead of time?

nanaking, I want to Welcome you to Mayo Connect, an online patient network where members can ask questions, get answers, and support each other with similar health experiences.
I don't see any message here, so I want to ask you what brought you to the transplant conversation - Are you a patient? caregiver, or a donor? How can I assist you?

@nanaking

@stella25 physically he is doing fantastic. Unfortunately, due to medication he had to take too get rid of hep c, chemo for the cancer and now his immunosuppressants, he has some memory lapses. We are currently working with a speech therapist that specializes in "chemo brain" to rebuild what's been lost.

@jodeej We welcome your blessings! Thank you for your encouraging words of kindness:-) I hope your husband is doing well and finding peace & happiness with the wonderful gift of life he has been given. Prayers for continued good health!!

godlygal, I have't seen anything from you lately, so I want to drop in to say, "Hi". How is your loved one handling his cirrhosis diagnosis? I know that it is a fright and a shock to hear those words. Has there been any improvement or change in his condition?
How are you doing? Have you found any support for your own needs as a caregiver?
I am thinking about you.

@stella25 congratulations on his workup! It is so exciting yet scary. My husband had a liver transplant last July, exactly 1 year after his initial appointments. I remember that week well. It was exhausting, but so good to know they want to make sure he was healthy enough to handle the surgery.
Blessings on your journey,
JoDee

Hi Rosemary! I meant to tell you earlier my name is actually Mary. Stella is just the sign on name I used to set up my account. I can't tell you how much it means to me that you have taken a special interest in my son's case. You have already been a wealth of information to us and it's comforting to know you will be there as we move forward:-) We are excited for our evaluation. Me, I'm a bit terrified as well. Your support is truly a blessing we are extremely grateful for. Thank you to all for sharing your stories. I'm honored to be a part of this family:-) I will keep you posted every step of the way.

Stella, I think this is an exciting event for you son, and even a bit frightening him and you as he learns about his future journey. I feel a special interest in him because of his diagnosis of PSC. Remember that I am here if there is anything you want to ask or totalk about.

Your son most likely knows this informatioin, but I want you to have access to it also. - Getting Listed for Transplant
