I am a British citizen living in Mozambique - children are in the UK. I have HCC from Hemochromotosis - tried a living donor transplant with my wife in India but two things - I got very ill in hospital from food poisoning and my wife's liver was unequally divided. My children are potential donors but are worried about doing it in India - can I as a full British citizen have this done in the UK? I do not have long left as main tumour strangling hepatic portal vein and already had a big internal bleed
