In shock, got the call 5 days after going on list.

My partner went on the list on monday and got the call last night.

Currently in Addenbrookes waiting to see if it's a viable liver. It's in the machine being tested. Scary that its happened or may happen so quickly. Feel totally unprepared but amazed at the community and team involved.

Have been following stories on here for a few months now. I think I might be asking lots of questions daily if all goes well today.

Thank you in advance x

Hi Melwill. That's great news. Hope everything goes straight forward with no problems. The Perfusion machine that they put the donor liver on is a fantastic device. It stops any deterioration of the liver whilst it's being tested. Addenbrookes can do far more transplants now with the use of this marvellous machine. I was only 10 weeks on the list and was transplanted at the first call. I was lucky enough to be one of the people transplanted in the first few months of use of the machine. The transplant team there are 1st class. Your partner is in very good hands. All the very best with everything. Alf

Hope all goes well

that was me last May

Hubby on list 4 days when we got the call on a rainy Saturday. The call asked if we could be there in 1 hour, an hour after arriving he was in theatre

He didn't even have a chance to think about it, but for me it was very overwhelming at how quickly it happened.

Hope all goes well. It's probably harder for relatives at these times than it is for us patients. We just get to sleep, a lot!

Feel free to ask anything. I'm sure you'll get plenty of help.
