PBC and progression
With having PBC, if you respond to the medicines, will you definitely still need a liver transplant say if you have PBC for 30-40 years? How much does Urso slow the progression since no matter what PBC always progresses?

Heart transplant v coping with A FIB
I have spoke to everyone before here; after surgery I was very down as most of us are and was trying to find someone I could talk to as my husband isn't very good at this. I did manage to find someone I could speak with, my health overall went up a step and I was able to do a bit more. I started a phased

TPLL
I want to thank you all again for welcoming me into your community. Mike's cancer diagnosis has been very unique. As has his treatment. I don't recall what I have already shared, but his actual diagnosis ended up being TPLL (Tcell Prolymphocytic Leukemia). His WBC count went from 432,000 on 9/30 to 530,000

Life after transplant
I read a lot about people struggling after transplant to get back to normal life and it’s clear that for many “normal” is not what they had before diagnosis. I don’t know if I am in a minority or we only tend to speak out when things are bad but my life is amazing now. My bloods are all in normal ranges

Listing query for Lung Transplants England
Can I ask is there still a hold on listing in England, for Lung Transplants? I have been informed lately that the 'super urgent, and urgent' are now lifted and its business as usual, as we all had a window from Covid, bit perplexed as I know of a few patients who fit normal criteria, not yet listed
