Where are all the husbands talking about their wives and partners alcohol-related liver disease?
I had a most enjoyable coffee with a fellow liver transplantee this afternoon. I’ve not seen this lady (due to Covid) for almost two years, so it was nice to catch up. Her liver transplant was due to PBC (Primary biliary cholangitis). This poor lady does understandably get frustrated as she is often

A decade on from heart failure diagnosis
Today marks ten years since I was unexpectedly diagnosed with heart failure at the tender age of 31. I remember back then being told by Dr "Death Knell" Google that I'd be dead within five years. [Nowadays I know Dr Google is an unqualified quack who knows nothing and likes to present worst case scenarios

How do you get ESRD Medicare if you get a preemptive kidney transplant (before dialysis has begun).
Does anyone know the particulars of getting ESRD Medicare prior to the start of dialysis? Medicare’s guidelines say that you qualify in the month that you receive a kidney transplant, but they don’t say what day of the month or if you start your application after you have already received the transplant

Feeling a bit Hopeless
I have been on the lung transplant list for 18 months. I had one dry run 4 months ago, but I am wondering if I will ever get the call. Transplants are low, party because of Covid and only 30% of people on the list received a transplant in the year up to March, according to latest statistics. This has

Open up to conversations: Hear from a transplant surgeon
In order to feel empowered and safe, whilst navigating our own heath journeys, it is also important we remember we are being looked after by humans - the consultants, nurses, surgeons, anaesthetist - we are all in this human experience together. You may find this conversation with kidney transplant

3rd dose vaccine
Just came across an interesting article stating the benefits of a 3rd vaccine shot given to
organ
transplant
recipients . https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/L21-0282 In my limited understanding of the conclusions, it seemed to have resulted in a significant increase in antibody titers.

The "Sally Painting Story"
For many people, the name Sally Painting may be unknown. But Sally was an inspiration for so many people. She was the first-ever liver transplant patient to later become a nurse. She even worked on the same liver ward at the QE Hospital, Birmingham where she was once a patient. At the age of 13, Sally

Liver Transplant – Letter to Donor family – totally gutted.
I had my liver transplant back in 2016 due to alcohol abuse and Hepatocellular Carcinoma. For a good 10-months post-transplant, I suffered terribly with survivors guilt and PTSD. I honestly felt that writing that letter to the donor family was an honest reflection of my gratitude. It helped me to deal
