October 15th - 23 years later
Today is a special day for me...23 years ago today I had my kidney transplant! It was all because my donor, Ryan, said "yes" to organ donation. He was 16 years old and was killed in a horrible car accident. As a result, - I saw both of my daughters marry and I now have 2 buddies, my grandsons.

Starting treatment
Hello everyone, I've been on W&W Since Jan 2020. Two weeks ago at my consultation my consultant said its time for treatment, that week I had a CT scan, blood tests and an echo heart test. My next step I assumed would be a meeting regarding my treatment, however she called today to say I need a pet

Thought I’d give a little update on my ARLD journey. After 1 year of initial Fibroscan results which were CAP score 316 and 28.9 kpa elastography score, which shattered my world as it wasn’t expected. My latest results after abstaining from alcohol, which I may say has been oh-so difficult after

Constipation ....
Sooooo, while there are some things which are considered "unmentionable", they are often the things where a chat can be very helpful. Many of us are on heavy pain medications, most of which cause constipation. Personally, I can go eight days and end up with nausea and stomach pain. Yes, I have tried

update on hubby 4
He continues to make slow improvements. Good days then bad days. He has been confused at times but that is improving slowly too. He is able to walk into the kitchen and bathroom using his walker. Eating small meals and generally more conversational. I saw my GP and he stated that my husband is still

Levo doses and side effects
Hi everyone, I've had hypothyroidism (Hashimotos) for several years now and never felt 'well' that whole time, but at times have been able to cope and others (like now) absolutely can't. It seems to be constant and I wanted some advice/thoughts from what seems to be a very knowledgeable group who can

Allogenic Stem Cell Transplant
I [i]received a Stem cell transplant six months ago. My decision was based on the availability of a suitable donor and being able to get to remission through aggressive chemotherapy. Other treatments had no effect on my rapidly growing leukemia. As of today I’m still in remission, showing 97% chimerism

For those who have beaten the odds and are surviving hepatocellular carcinoma.
Any pearls or tips from those who are beating the odds and surviving hepatocellular carcinoma? I was diagnosed 3 months ago and am currently on immunotherapy. I've tried not to get buried in the statistics regarding hepatocellular carcinoma. As I realize there are many who are beating the statistics

Decompensated Cirrhosis and follow up consultant appointment for husband
Hi, I’ve been lurking for a while but this is my first post. My husband was in hospital in May 2021 after a variceal bleed, he was having tests done before this as they suspected Cirrhosis, and after admission he admitted he had alcohol problems, and they treated him with banding, and he had previously

Bone marrow transplant
Hi, I am being offered a bone marrow transplant and wonder if anyone can offer me positive advice. Obviously the process is quite scary, but would like to think I'm doing the right thing. Thank you George

Hello everyoneMy other half was diagnosed with advanced decompensated liver cirrhosis earlier this month.

My son has his first appointment with Vanderbilt Hepatologist this week, anything I need to be aware of?
We have been told he doesn't need a
liver
transplant
yet from the GI physician. However, due to Covid and just how long it takes to get appointments for new patients, we wanted to get him established with a provider there in the event something changes quickly.
