Trish -
I 'had' the exact same type of cancer as you, which is incredibly rare. I had a liver transplant 7 years ago on 9.8.03 in Kansas City at KU Med Center. If you would like I can speak with her about the whole process. I would be more than happy to do so. I work for a non-profit called Gift of Life in Kansas City and manage a Mentoring program for transplant patients either pre or post transplant. Our website is www.giftdonor.org I have an article about me that was just published in the KU Med Center magazine called Be Well. I will send that to you in another email.
I am now 47 years old and have become a Dad since my transplant. I still cannot believe how this surgery has saved my life!! I am able to do anything ( within reason ) that I would like to do. I have had a brief look at the blog that someone is running to assist Trisha during this difficult time. I also have names and contacts at the University of Kansas Hospital if anyone would like to get them.
I looking forward to speaking with you and anyone who is interested about the whole process.
