Guest guest Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Hello All, Well, I'm back from Toronto. Saw the social worker, the t p co-coordinator & the Living Donor docs. They're "presenting my case" to the t p committee tomorrow & seem to agree that I should be on the t p list within the next few weeks. After that, Tim (my nephew) has to contact them himself to offer to donate. Then he'll go through the donor screening which, depending on scheduling, should take about six weeks. If he is acceptable as a donor I could be looking at a date for the surgery as soon as August! It will probably be much later than that but by the end of 2008 I could have a new liver. If Tim isn't acceptable or decides he doesn't want to donate after all it could take up to 4 years. Since I'll be classified as a tumor patient, they'll try to find me a new liver faster than the tumor grows. Love Ya, SuZie & Sir SpYke the Fuzzy who got forgot last trip to T O!!! They will PAY Next time I'm coming back as a cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
