Guest guest Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Wim, I have you bookmarked and have shown your videos to others. You did a wonderful job in getting the message out to the rest of the world that this disease that we have is serious. I admire your courage for speaking up for the rest of us. Your efforts are appreciated more than you know. A big " THANK YOU " .

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 When I had my transplant, there was a gentleman I met who had his a few days before me. He was 75 at the time and was really proud that he was accepted for a transplant because the doctors had told him before the testing that they doubted he would pass their physical. I just heard from him recently and he is doing well.

I just heard from him recently and he is doing well. The federal judge in the Oklahoma City bombing cases, Matsch, was 71 when he received his liver transplant (for PSC) in 2001. He's still doing well (and is closing in on 80!). http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group//message/28407 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
