Meeting the liver specialist: What should I know or ask?

Posted by lynjoy2 @lynjoy2, Mar 11 10:37am

I was just recently diagnosed with stage 4 cirrhosis of the liver non alcoholic. I see the liver specialist on March 27th. What should I know? What questions should I ask this doctor?

@rachel5239, I am so inspired by your positive message with your 38 year liver transplant history! I just returned home from my annual check-up at Mayo MN,. I am 16 years post liver/kidney transplant. And I am happy to be following in your footsteps❤️

Thank you, @rachel5239, for your kind words,
I'm curious about whether you are located near enough to Rochester to attend the Transpant Picnic? I think it would be fun to attend and to meet, in person, other transplant recipients. I am too far away in Kentucky.
Have you ever been able to attend it?

I did go the first few years. I had met quite a few of the people that had transplant in the 2 years before me. I had a serious bleed 2 years before my transplant so that is how I was able to meet some of those people. I get the letter each year and think about it never actually of it. Maybe if we meet some people on here in would be easier to go. I am only about 75 miles from Rochester so that was lucky for me.
