RE: I need some advice for end stage signs..

[Guest guest]

Hi

Laurie,

I’m so sorry to

hear about your husband’s many health problems. This must be so very hard on the both of

you. Has anyone spoken to you &

your husband about angioplasty or a coronary artery bypass? If not, a visit to a really good cardiologist

might be in order. You also might

want to try to send his tests and labs to another transplant hospital. Each transplant hospital is different

and there are some who will agree to do high risk cases. Ask the doctor you trust the most and

see if they will look into it for you.

Sadly, if his CAD is severe, than he probably won’t qualify for a

transplant anywhere. If as you say,

it turns out he is terminal, I

would suggest you talk to your doctor about getting Hospice care for your husband. They are truly a wonderful organization

and they can offer both of you, any and all kinds of help, either in your home

or at one of their many hospice hospitals.

They will be there by your side every step of the way and they can

explain everything that will take place.

Please know that once

you joined this group, you became part of our PSC family and we are all here

for you, day or night, if you need someone to talk with or just listen – whatever

you need - you are not alone.
