Guest guest Posted March 13, 2002 Report Share Posted March 13, 2002 Terry, congratulations on your transplant. I will be praying for you and your donor. Can you tell us a little bit more about yourself. I am assuming you are male from the way you spelled your name, (but, if you have been lurking, you know I have been wrong before). ===== in Michigan (Dx UC 1984, Dx MISSING COLON 1999, Dx PSC 1997, PSC symptoms 2000) __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2002 Report Share Posted March 13, 2002 offered to donate in a LDLT. To cut a long story short, he was assessed, found to be compatible and our surgery is scheduled for this April 9th. We go for our pre-op next week and are going for autologous blood donations as well. Great news Terry, I hope to be able to get an LDLT from my sister sometime soon, though I am not listed yet.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2002 Report Share Posted March 13, 2002 Terry that is wonderful. The success rate of LDLT seems to be so much more positive - what a friend!!!!! We'll be keeping you and your friend in our prayers as April 9th approaches. Isn't it wonderful to have people that think so highly of you. Phil has a friend that has offered, course we don't even know if he is the same blood type and Phil isn't near bad enough to need one right now but just knowing that someone cares that much for you sure is a special feeling. ===== Peg,wife of Phil(58), UC 30 yrs, dx PSC 12/98, Listed UCLA 3/2000,status 3,living in LA, CA suburbs, 2 kids, 5 grandchildren, 2 cats __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2002 Report Share Posted March 13, 2002 Terry, I am glad you participated, rather than lurked. I am getting close to being listed and am curious what all takes place right before, during and after. My brother has volunteered to be my live donor, but we have not begun the process just yet. I think it is wonderful that you have a friend ready, willing and able to provide you with a healthy liver! Friends like that are few, and far between - if you ever find one. Good luck to both of you. We will be saying prayers that all goes well for all, before, during and after! Sincerely, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
