Nowhere else to go

I've posted on here a few times lately, my husband Peter at 79 was desperately hoping to be considered for a transplant, but despite being fit and healthy apart from his decompensated cirrhosis and associated problems, has been turned down. We are both devastated and his specialist has given him a prognosis of one to three years. His HE is partularly bad at the moment and he has had a sizeable clot for the past year in his portal vein which is not responding to a double dose of Rivaroxaban. His specialist organised a CT scan thinking cancer and we are now waiting for an MRI for same. Has anyone out there had any experience along these lines? I have to admit I am feeling very isolated not just as a career but feeling totally inept.
