Questions to ask Transplant coordinator

hi everyone - I’m hoping you can give me some advice . My son went for a TIPS / Transplant assessment at Freemans Newcastle last week and the transplant coordinator is ringing him tomorrow . Stephen has asked me to do a list of questions to ask . We don’t think he’ll go on the transplant list as he’s not ill enough at the moment but he still gets 10 litres drained at a hospice every week . We hope the TIPS procedure can reduce this . Please can anyone help me - what questions should he do asking ? Thank you Carol
