Well, appointment over and basically no need for admission, thank God. Have a collection of fluid and consultant has requested an urgent ct scan to establish the fluid collection.

I have never heard of your condition, but having googled it - briefly I must say - that is probably because of its rarity. Apparently to require a Transplant is even more rare. 😕.
I do hope obviously that you get on that Transplant list, which, as a lot of us on here know, is an “achievement” in itself. I haven’t phrased that well, but I mean you don’t get on the list unless really needed - sounds pretty clear cut in your case - and then you get through all of the physical and “psychological” type of tests. So to me I felt like I had “achieved” something that’s for sure!

My own consultant had head of it but i was the first he had dealth with,
