PSC GROUP NEWBIE-12 yrs post transplant

[Guest guest]

Hi my name is Carol; I have been reading posts from this group for a few weeks now;

I wanted to introduce myself and let you know I had a liver transplant 12 yrs ago due to PSC at the University of Pittsburg;

So far I have been doing well; I did have a rejection episode; The disease has reocurred; and I am on Ursodiol;but I stay active and try and stay positive.

Just wanted to post here to give some encouragement; I thank God as everyday is a gift; and my donor of course.

Don't hesitate to email me; I don't know anyone locally who had this disease; and very few transplant patients.Stay in touch when you're away with Windows Live Messenger. IM anytime you're online.

Wow Carol, are you in

for a big surprise! We have a bunch

of people in our group who have had their transplants and quite a few who’ve

gotten their transplant at U Pitt.

Sorry to say, we also have several with rPSC. By this time next week, you’ll

find you are no longer alone and have over a thousand new family members. Welcome to our group.

>Hi Carol,

So who was the doctor that did your surgery. I see Dr Rabinovitz at

UPMC, I have had PSC about 5 years. How long were you in the

hospital after having your transplant? I have more questions but I

have to get ready for work right now.
