Profile

How are you touched by transplantation?
I am on the Transplant Waiting List
What is your city / state and country of residence?
Massachusetts
If you are on the transplant waiting list, what type of transplant are you waiting for?
Liver, Double Lung
If you are on the transplant waiting list, please use this space to write about your experience:
I'm not actually on the transplant list yet. I'm waiting for a hospital to accept me. In Boston, liver/double lung transplants have not been done as a single transplant surgery yet, so I would be the first if a hospital would just SAY YES.

I have cystic fibrosis, and that led to me also having liver cirrhosis.
How did you find out about TransplantCafe.com?
From a friend
What is your relationship status?
Engaged

Glad to hear that! Yeah, it was Washington State and it was nice. We stayed in Bremerton (on the Puget Sound) and travelled to Seattle on a ferry twice. Other than that, we hung out with some friends and even drove 5 hours to Kennewick to visit some more friends. We had a great time.

I know what you mean. I have pulmonary langerhans cell histiocytosis. I only know a handful of people with the same disease and a transplant. I think the Histiocytosis Society still discourages transplant and technically with the new system of accepting candidates I would be bottom of the barrel. I am exceedingly healthy at 12 years out. I am happy you found someone who has had that unusual combination.

Hi Jennifer-
It may make you feel better to know you aren't the first. I see Patti has commented. You two should have a lot to talk about!

Is it Mass General in Boston?? I was going to go there and my insurance wouldn't pay for that clinic and they wouldn't take my double lung and liver case anyway. I was lucky to find the Cleveland Clinic and I was the first one there to have double lung and liver all at the same time. They have yet to do another one!
