I Am 'Officially' on the Transplant List!! - July 9, 2010

I heard from my transplant coordinator Wendy the past couple of days, and I am "officially" on the transplant list. She went on the list with a MELD score of a 9, but once the board receives a letter today from Dr. Sorrell, (Internal Medicine), Dr. Mercer (Transplant Surgeon), and Wendy, my score should jump to a 22 due to the fact I have cancer. Wendy told me today that she has had them update the score at 8:00 PM and the patient has gotten called 3 hours later. I am sure this is very rare, but it just makes us realize that it is real and can happen anytime now.

Once again, and always I want to thank everyone for all of the kindness, cards, flowers, monetary support, and prayers. I hope I am able to pay this forward one day to the overwhelming extent that I have experienced. I have cancer, and in the same breath I can say, I am so blessed. Thank you all for that.

Love,
Trisha
